How do you create tables in HTML and what are some of the key elements that make up a table?

To create a table in HTML, you use the <table> element as the container for the table, and within that element you can use the <tr> element to create rows, and the <td> element to create cells within those rows. Each cell can contain text or other HTML elements.

Here is an example:

<table> <tr> <td>Row 1, Cell 1</td> <td>Row 1, Cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Row 2, Cell 1</td> <td>Row 2, Cell 2</td> </tr> </table>

Some of the key elements that make up a table in HTML include:

• <table> : The container element for the table.
• <tr> : The container element for a table row.
• <td> : The container element for a table cell.
• <th> : The container element for a table header cell.
• <caption> : The container element for a table caption.
• <thead>, <tbody>, <tfoot> : These elements can be used to group rows in a table for formatting purposes.
• colspan and rowspan attributes : These attributes can be used to specify how many columns or rows a cell should span.
• scope attribute: It helps to make the table more accessible, by specifying the type of cells a header cell relates to.
• summary attribute: It provides a summary of the table's structure and purpose, which can be useful for people using screen readers.
