Does case matter in HTML?

It does not matter which case you use when writing HTML tags. HTML tags can be uppercase, mixed case or lowercase. However there are a few exceptions.

WHATWG a body that works on improving the current version of HTML states:

’ Many strings in the HTML syntax (e.g. the names of elements and their attributes) are case-insensitive, but only for ASCII upper alphas and ASCII lower alphas. For convenience, in this section this is just referred to as “case-insensitive”.’

There are some places where case matters:

• when writing some HTML entities that are used to display non-keyboard characters. e.g. To display uppercase Ñ  you need to use the entity with an uppercase:  Ñ and a lowercase ñ you use lowercase entity ñ.
• When writing HTML attributes: eg. rel="" or src="".

HTML Case recommendation

1. It is generally recommended that you use lowercase in HTML. I think its also easier to write HTML in lowercase as long as you are typing your sentences in lowercase.

2. If you click on inspect on a page written in uppercase HTML code, you will find that the browser seems to have converted all the tags to lowercase.
