HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language used to create web pages. It is the backbone of any web development process, as it provides the basic structure of sites by defining elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, and other content to be displayed in a web browser.
HTML is not a programming language; it is a markup language that tells the web browser how to structure the content on web pages. It consists of a series of elements, which you can use to enclose different parts of your content to make it appear or behave in a certain way. For example, wrapping text in
tags turns the text into a paragraph.
Elements are defined by tags, written using angle brackets. Tags can be either opening tags, closing tags, or self-closing tags, depending on whether they need to enclose content or stand alone. HTML documents also include a set of nested HTML elements including the <!DOCTYPE html>, ,
, and tags, which define the structure of the page.HTML pages are enhanced and manipulated using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for styling and JavaScript for functionality. Together, these technologies form the core set of tools used by front-end web developers to create interactive and visually appealing websites.
Below is a simple example of an HTML document that demonstrates the use of basic HTML tags to structure a web page. This example includes the use of headings, paragraphs, links, and an image.
