Introduction to HTML

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the standard language for creating web pages. It provides the structure for web content, allowing developers to format text, images, and links. Understanding HTML is essential for anyone looking to build a website.

Basic Structure

An HTML document consists of elements that define the content. Each element is enclosed in tags, such as <h1> for headings and <p> for paragraphs. The basic structure of an HTML document includes a <head> and a <body> section.

Common Tags

  • <a>: Defines hyperlinks.
  • <img>: Embeds images.
  • <div>: Groups content.
