Hypertext Markup Language - HTML

HTML stands for "Hypertext Markup Language" and is a markup language used to structure content on the web. It serves as a foundation for web development, describing and organizing the content of a web page. HTML uses tags or markup to identify and structure different elements on a webpage.

A basic HTML document consists of HTML tags marking the beginning and end of elements. Here's an example of the basic structure of an HTML document:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>

    <h1>Heading 1</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    
    <!-- More HTML elements here -->

</body>
</html>

Here are some basic HTML elements:

  • <html>: The root element that wraps around the entire HTML content.
  • <head>: Contains meta-information about the HTML document, such as the page title, references to CSS files, etc.
  • <title>: Defines the title of the webpage displayed in the browser tab.
  • <body>: Contains the actual content of the webpage, such as text, images, links, etc.
  • <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, ..., <h6>: Headings of different hierarchy levels.
  • <p>: A paragraph.
  • Comments are represented by <!-- comment -->.

HTML is often used in conjunction with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript to not only structure content but also to style and provide interactivity to web pages.
