HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) Basics

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the cornerstone of web development. It provides the structure and organization for web pages. In this topic, we'll dive into the fundamental concepts of HTML and guide you through creating your first HTML document.

Understanding HTML Documents

At its core, HTML consists of documents that define the structure and content of a web page. An HTML document is composed of elements and tags that serve specific purposes. Let's explore some key elements:

  • <html>: The root element of an HTML document, encapsulating all other elements.
  • <head>: Contains meta-information about the document, such as the page title and character encoding.
  • <title>: Sets the title of the web page, which appears in the browser's title bar or tab.
  • <body>: Contains the main content of the web page, including text, images, links, and more.

Creating a Simple HTML Document

Now, let's create a basic HTML document as an example. Here's what it looks like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Welcome to My Web Page</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
    <a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example.com</a>
</body>
</html>
