Introduction to HTML

What is HTML?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It describes the structure and content of a webpage using elements represented by tags.

Your first document

A typical HTML page contains a document declaration, a head section for page information, and a body section for visible content.

Code example

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head><title>My first page</title></head>
<body><h1>Hello, world!</h1></body>
</html>
