Getting Started with HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and is the skeleton that defines the structure and content of a web page.

Here, HyperText refers to text that includes 'hyperlinks'. Users can click on these links to easily navigate to other web pages, images, videos, and more.

Another important concept is Markup Language, which refers to the code or tags that define the structure of a document or data.

For example, in HTML, <p> denotes a Paragraph, and <li> denotes a list item.

Let's take a look at a simple HTML example.


Example HTML Code​

Simple HTML Code
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
    <p>Nice to meet you</p>
  </body>
</html>

The above HTML code is composed of elements enclosed in angle brackets (<, >) such as <html> and <head>.

What are these elements, and how do they work in HTML? We'll explore this in the next lesson πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ’»
