HTML Basics
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages. It provides the structure and elements that define the content of a web page.
HTML uses a set of tags to define the different elements on a web page. These tags are enclosed in angle brackets and consist of an opening tag and a closing tag.
Here's an example of a simple HTML document:
1<!DOCTYPE html>
2<html>
3 <head>
4 <title>My First Web Page</title>
5 </head>
6 <body>
7 <h1>Welcome to My Page</h1>
8 <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
9 </body>
10</html>In this example, we have a basic HTML document that consists of a DOCTYPE declaration, an HTML opening tag, head and body sections, and some content within the body section.
HTML provides a wide range of tags for defining different types of content, such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, tables, forms, and more. Each tag serves a specific purpose and helps in organizing and structuring the content of a web page.
To create a web page using HTML, you need to have a good understanding of the different HTML tags and their usage. With HTML, you can create well-structured and semantically meaningful web pages that are accessible and search engine-friendly.
To get started with HTML, let's create a simple HTML document. Open a text editor and create a new file with a .html extension. Add the following code to the file:
1<!DOCTYPE html>
2<html>
3 <head>
4 <title>My First Web Page</title>
5 </head>
6 <body>
7 <h1>Welcome to My Page</h1>
8 <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
9 </body>
10</html>Save the file and open it in a web browser. You should see the heading and paragraph displayed on the page.
As you progress in your HTML journey, you'll learn more about the different HTML tags and their attributes, how to structure your web pages using HTML elements, and how to create interactive and dynamic web experiences using HTML.
Keep learning and practicing HTML, and soon you'll be able to create beautiful and functional web pages!
