# Getting Started with HTML

HTML stands for *HyperText Markup Language* and is like the **basic skeleton** that defines the structure and content of a webpage.

First, `HyperText` refers to text that includes `Links`, known as hyperlinks.

When a user clicks on these links, they can easily navigate to different webpages, images, videos, and other kinds of content.

> Navigating content through these text-based `links` is the basic principle by which the web interconnects numerous webpages.

<br />

Another important concept is `Markup Language`, which refers to code or tags used to define the structure of documents or data.

In HTML, these tags define the meaning and layout of elements within a webpage.

For example, `h1` means the largest heading (Heading 1), and `<p>` signifies a paragraph consisting of regular text.

Below is a simple HTML code example.

<br />

## Example of HTML Code

```html title="Simple HTML Code"
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
    <p>Nice to meet you</p>
  </body>
</html>
```

The HTML code above consists of elements enclosed by angle brackets like `<html>`, `<head>`, and so forth.

What are these elements, and how do they function in HTML? Let's explore them together in the next lesson! 👨🏻‍💻

<br />
