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
<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 π¨π»βπ»
Practice
Follow along and type the highlighted sections of the code.
In HTML, the tag for paragraphs is <paragraph>
