HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a markup language used to create the structure and content of web pages. It's the basic and most common language for building websites, and it forms the core of nearly every web page you'll see on the internet.
Here are some basic concepts and common HTML markings
- Tags — HTML uses tags to define the structure and content of a web page. Tags are surrounded by angle brackets, such as <html>, <head>, <body>, <p>, <div> and more.
- Basic page structure — a basic HTML page contains the <html>, <head> and <body> tags. The <head> tag contains information about the page, such as its title, while <body> contains the visible content of the page.
- Headings — HTML provides six levels of heading tags, from <h1> to <h6>, where <h1> represents the most important heading and <h6> the least important.
- Paragraphs and text — textual content is typically displayed inside <p> (paragraph) or <span> (text segment) tags.
- Links — links are created using the <a> (anchor) tag, where the href attribute specifies the URL the link points to.
- Images — images are embedded in the page using the <img> tag, where the src attribute specifies the location of the image file.
- Lists — HTML supports unordered lists (<ul> tag) and ordered lists (<ol> tag), with list items represented by the <li> tag.
- Forms — forms are created using the <form> tag and can include a variety of input elements, such as text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons and submit buttons.
HTML is the skeleton of web pages, while other languages such as CSS and JavaScript are used to add design and interactivity. A good understanding of HTML is the foundation for modern website and web application development.
