HTML  (HyperText Markup Language)

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a markup language used to structure content on the web. It is used to define the structure and layout of web pages by using a variety of tags and attributes.

HTML documents are made up of a series of elements, which are represented by tags. These tags are used to define the structure and layout of the content on the page, such as headings, paragraphs, and lists.

Example:

Here is a simple example of an HTML document:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>My Page</title> </head> <body> <h1>Welcome to my page</h1> <p>This is my page.</p> </body> </html>

The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration at the top of the document tells the web browser that this is an HTML document. The <html> element is the root element of the document and contains all of the other elements.

The <head> element contains information about the document, such as the title and any linked resources, such as stylesheets. The <body> element contains the actual content of the document, such as headings, paragraphs, and lists.

HTML is a very important part of the web and is used to create and structure the content on virtually all websites. If you're interested in learning more about HTML and how to use it to create web pages, there are many resources available online to help you get started.

HTML Tags:

HTML tags are used to mark up the structure and content of a webpage. They are enclosed in angle brackets < > and typically come in pairs, with an opening tag and a closing tag. For example, the paragraph element is denoted by the <p> opening tag and the </p> closing tag.

Here is a list of some common HTML tags:

  • <html>: This is the root element of an HTML document. It surrounds the entire document and contains all other elements.
  • <head>: This element contains metadata about the document, such as the title, scripts, and stylesheets.
  • <body>: This element contains the main content of the document, such as headings, paragraphs, images, and links.
    • <h1> through <h6>: These elements represent headings of different levels, with <h1> being the highest level and <h6> being the lowest.
    • <p>: This element represents a paragraph of text.
    • <a>: This element represents a hyperlink, which allows users to click on a piece of text or an image to navigate to another webpage or a specific location on the same page.
    • <img>: This element represents an image.
    • <div>: This element represents a division or section of the document and is often used as a container for other elements.
    • <span>: This element is used to apply styles to a small portion of text within a paragraph or other block-level element.
