Understanding HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, serving as the universal language browsers use to display web content. Think of it as the blueprint architects use for buildings - HTML provides the structural framework that holds together all website components.

  • HyperText - creates clickable connections between different web documents
  • Markup Language - uses special codes (tags) to organize and format content
  • HTML Elements - individual components that construct complete web pages
  • HTML Tags - commands written inside angle brackets, such as <html>

Your First HTML Document

Here's how a basic HTML document looks when written in code:

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Welcome to My Website</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    <p>This is my very first webpage.</p>
</body>
</html>

Result:

Hello, World!

This is my very first webpage.

<head>

Stores behind-the-scenes information like page settings

<title>

Sets the text displayed in your browser's tab
