HTML Introduction

What is HTML?

Hypertext Markup Language is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser
HTML describes the structure of a Web page
HTML consists of a series of elements
HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content
You can build HTML website with the help of tags, attributes, css and so on.....
Browsers do not display the HTML tags, attributes, css....but use them to render the content of the page

A simple structure of HTML document:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html> : DOCTYPE that means this is document type. <!DOCTYPE html> that means this is HTML5 document.

<html> : This tag is the root element of an HTML page.
