What is HTML?
HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, forms the base of every web page. This language instructs your browser how to show content ranging from text to images to videos. You can picture HTML as a website's framework—it gives the structure.
HTML starts with tags. These tags serve as the essential components that define the elements on a page. For example:
This simple example <html> starts your HTML document, and <head> holds info like the title, which shows up in the browser tab. This is where you put your visible stuff such as headings and paragraphs. Each tag usually comes in pairs: an opening tag (like <h1>) and a closing tag (like </h1>), with the content in between.
