HTML is a special language created for web pages and it's short for hyper text markup language. This language is a series of elements that communicate with the browser telling it how to display content. The elements in HTML include a start tag, the content you want displayed, and an end tag. An example of a start tag is ""<h1>” and an end tag is “</h1>.”
HTML Basic.
The document must start with <html> followed by <body> indicating to the browser the content that follows is the content you want visible on the web page. It is helpful to tell the browser how to display the web page correctly by naming the document type in the tag <!DOCTYPE>. Other important tags to include in the document are headings, paragraphs, links, and images.
HTML Elements.
The elements of HTML are everything that is inside the start and end tag. For a heading, you would indicate the start of the heading with the tag <h1> then put the heading in the middle and end the heading with the tag </h1>. The elements can also be nested which means the HTML elements contain other elements. For example, the document contains the body which contains the header and that contains the paragraph.
