Introduction to 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 is composed of a series of elements.

Basic HTML Structure

Every HTML document starts with a <!DOCTYPE html> declaration, followed by the opening <html> tag. The document is then divided into two main sections: the <head> and the <body>.

  • : This declaration defines the document type and version of HTML.
  • : This is the root element of an HTML page.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <!-- Content goes here -->
</html>

Elements and Attributes

HTML elements are used to structure the content of a web page. Each element has a starting tag and an ending tag, and may contain attributes that provide additional information about the element.

For example, the <h1> element is used to define a heading, and the <p> element is used to define a paragraph.

<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

HTML Documents

An HTML document is a text file that contains HTML code. It can be created and edited using any text editor, such as Notepad or Sublime Text.

To view an HTML document in a web browser, you can save it with a .html extension and open it in your browser.
