HTML is what describes the overall structure of each of your site’s pages.
You tag each set of code and content with the name of the section it belongs to.
For example, your main header may be tagged as H1, your subheadings may be tagged as H2, your body text may be tagged with a P for paragraph.
These tags tell your site what general style all of your text should be in including size, weight, and italics.
Tags serve as separate containers for every section of your code.
Some of these sections overlap; you may find an H2 section of text within your Body tag, all within your overarching HTML tag.
Every tag has an opening and closing tag to mark where it begins and ends.
All tags begin with the name of the tag placed in between “<>”, for example <h1>; your closing tags are very similar, but they include a “/” before the name of your tag, for example </h1>.
The body, head, and title sections are all found between your <html> and </html>.
The body section is your main portion of your site’s content and will be placed after all header and title information.
The head section of your code contains all information you want at the top of your screen: title, potentially a dropdown menu, etc.
The title is self-explanatory, but it is found within the head portion of your code; oftentimes the title is significantly larger than any other text on the site.
