What is HTML?

HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications. It describes the structure of a web document, and it's the backbone of every web page you visit.

Basic HTML Structure

Every HTML document starts with a basic structure. Here's an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>HTML Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome to HTML</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    <a href="/course-center/languages/en/curriculum/beginners/css-basics">Learn CSS Basics</a>
</body>
</html>

Elements

HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. Here are some basic elements:

<html>: The root element that encloses all the content of an HTML document.
<head>: Contains meta-information about the document, such as the title and links to CSS and JavaScript files.
<body>: Contains the content of the document, such as text, images, links, and other elements.
<h1> to <h6>: Used to define HTML headings.
<p>: Defines a paragraph.
<a>: Defines a hyperlink.

Attributes

Attributes provide additional information about an element. For example, the href attribute of the <a> element specifies the URL of the link.

Images in HTML

To add an image to an HTML document, use the <img> element. Here's an example:

<img src="https://cloud-image.ullrai.com/q/Golden_Retriever/" alt="Golden Retriever">
