HTML

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. HTML is the standard markup language used for creating and structuring all the web pages and applications on the internet.

HTML uses tags (characters that sit inside angled brackets) to give different information that have special

meaning

HTML Tags usually come in pairs. The opening tag <> denotes the start of a piece of content.

The closing tag </> denotes the end

The HTML file extension saves with .html



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

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

</body>
</html>

HTML

"HTML" is the main root element of the HTML Page

HEAD TAG

Before the "body" element you will often see a "head" element.

This contains information about the page (rather than information that is shown within the main part of the browser window ).

BODY TAG

The "body" element in the first example we created.

Everything inside this element is shown inside the main browser window.

TITLE TAG

The contents of the "title" element are either shown in the top of the browser, above where

you usually type in the URL of the page you want to visit, or on the tab for that page (if your browser uses tabs to allow you to view multiple pages at the same time).
