Getting Started with HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, and it is the basic framework for defining the structure and content of a webpage.

Firstly, HyperText refers to text that includes links, commonly known as Links.

When users click on these links, they can easily navigate to other web pages, images, videos, and a variety of other content.

Exploring content through these hyperlink-based links is the fundamental principle by which the web consists of numerous interconnected web pages.


Another important concept, Markup Language, refers to codes or tags used to define the structure of a document or data.

HTML employs these tags to denote the semantics and layout of a document.

For example, h1 denotes the largest heading (Heading1), while <p> represents a paragraph consisting of general text.

Below is a simple example of HTML code.


Example of HTML Code

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

The above HTML code is composed of elements enclosed in angle brackets <, >, such as <html>, <head>.

What are these elements, and how do they function in HTML? We'll explore this further in the next lesson πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ’»
