HTML - Hyper-Text Markup Language is the standard language for creating Web pages.
HTML is used to describe the structure of a web page.
An HTML page is built by combining a series of HTML elements.
HTML elements tell browsers how to display the content.
Example code for a simple HTML page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Sample Page Heading</h1>
<p>This is a sample pparagraph</p>
</body>
</html>Explanation:
<!DOCTYPE html> - This code defines that the current page is an HTML5 document.
<html> -This is the root element.
<head> - This is the head element, which is used to define page title and other hidden elements like meta information, CSS and JS codes, etc.
<title> - This tag defines the title of the web page, which is shown in the browser's title bar.
<body> - This defines the body of an HTML page and it contains all visible elements like headings, paragraphs, forms, tables, etc.
<h1> - This element defines the main heading of the web page.
<p> - This element defines a paragraph.
Each element in an HTML document has an opening tag and a corresponding closing tag, for example:
<body> </body> for body.<h1> </h1> for headings.<p> </p> for paragraphs.
