Introduction to HTML

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is a markup language used to create the structure and content of web pages. It consists of a series of tags that surround content and provide formatting. Web pages written in HTML are interpreted by web browsers and displayed to the user.

HTML is the standard markup language for web pages.
It defines the structure and content of a web page.
Web browsers render HTML to display web content.
HTML uses tags to mark up elements on a web page.
It's essential for web development.

HTML Tags

HTML tags are the fundamental building blocks of a web page. They start with an opening angle bracket < and end with a closing angle bracket >. Tags are used to define the structure and content of the page.

Example of a basic tag:

<p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>

Header Elements

Header elements (<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, <h6>) are used to define headers and subheaders in a web page. <h1> is the main header, and <h6> is the least important.

<h1>Main Header</h1>
          <h2>Subheader</h2>

Paragraphs and Line Breaks

Paragraphs are created with the <p> tag, and line breaks with the <br> tag.

<p>this is a paragraph.</p> <p>Another
          paragraph.</p> This is on a different line.<br>

Lists

HTML supports two types of lists: ordered lists (<ol>) and unordered lists (<ul>).

Ordered list:

<ol> <li>Item 1</li> <li>Item
          2</li> <li>Item 3</li> </ol>

Unordered list

<ul> <li>Apples</li>
          <li>Bananas</li> <li>Oranges</li>
          </ul>

Links

Links are created with the <a> tag. The href attribute specifies the URL that the link points to.

<a href="https://www.example.com">Link to
          Example.com</a>

Images

Images are embedded in a web page using the <img>> tag. The src attribute specifies the image's path.

<img img src="image.jpg" alt="Image description">
