HTML BASIC
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a markup language used for creating and designing web pages. It uses tags to define the structure and content of a web page. An HTML document consists of a series of elements, each enclosed in angle brackets (< >), that define the structure and content of the document.
The basic structure of an HTML document includes the <!DOCTYPE> declaration, which identifies the type of document being used, the <html> element, which contains the entire HTML document, the <head> element, which contains information about the document such as the title, links to stylesheets, and meta data, and the <body> element, which contains the visible content of the document such as text, images, and other media.
HTML tags are used to create different types of content such as headings, paragraphs, lists, images, and links. Most tags have an opening tag and a closing tag, identified by the tag name and separated by the content they enclose. Some tags are self-closing and do not require a closing tag, such as the <img> tag used to insert images.
HTML attributes provide additional information about an element and are specified within the opening tag. Attributes have a name and a value separated by an equals sign (=).
HTML can be used to create tables, forms, and other more complex elements. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) can be used to style and format HTML elements, and JavaScript can be used to add interactivity and dynamic content to web pages.
HTML5 is the latest version of HTML and introduces many new features and improvements such as support for multimedia elements, semantic markup, and improved accessibility.
