HTML Tutorial


what is html?



HTML: The Foundation of the Web

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) forms the backbone of every website. It structures content using tags and attributes, enabling browsers to render text, images, multimedia, and links in a clear and organized manner. This guide will help beginners and intermediate learners understand HTML deeply and professionally.

Note: HTML is a markup language, not a programming language. It defines what content is, while programming languages like JavaScript define how content behaves.

The Fundamental HTML Structure

A basic HTML document follows a logical structure consisting of the root element, metadata, and the visible content:

  • <!DOCTYPE html> – Declares the document type and version.
  • <html> – Root element containing all content.
  • <head> – Contains metadata, title, links to stylesheets, and scripts.
  • <body> – Contains the visible content for users.

Example: Basic HTML Document

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>My First Webpage</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome to HTML</h1>
    <p>This paragraph demonstrates the basic HTML structure.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Tip: Save this code as index.html and open it in your browser to see the result.
