HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language used for creating and structuring web pages. It forms the backbone of the World Wide Web by defining the structure and presentation of content on a webpage. HTML utilizes a set of markup tags to describe the elements and their relationships within a document.
Here's a brief introduction to some key concepts and elements in HTML:
Elements: HTML documents consist of elements, which are represented by tags. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets (< and >) and usually come in pairs - an opening tag and a closing tag. The content placed between the opening and closing tags defines the element.
Structure: HTML documents typically have a hierarchical structure. The root element is <html>, which contains two main sections: <head> and <body>. The <head> section provides meta-information about the document, such as the title and linking to external stylesheets, while the <body> section contains the visible content of the webpage.
Headings: Headings in HTML are represented by the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1> represents the highest level of heading, and <h6> represents the lowest level.
Paragraphs: Paragraphs are represented by the <p> tag. Text enclosed within this tag is treated as a separate paragraph.
Links: Hyperlinks are created using the <a> tag. The href attribute specifies the URL that the link should point to. For example, <a href="https://example.com">Link</a> creates a link with the text "Link" that directs users to the "https://example.com" URL.
Images: Images can be inserted using the <img> tag. The src attribute specifies the image URL, and the alt attribute provides alternative text that is displayed if the image cannot be loaded or for accessibility purposes.
Lists: HTML supports ordered lists <ol>, unordered lists <ul>, and definition lists <dl>. List items are represented by the <li> tag within the appropriate list container.
Divisions: The <div> tag is a generic container that allows you to group and style related elements. It is commonly used for layout purposes and applying CSS styles.
Tables: Tables are created using the <table>, <tr>, and <td> tags. <table> represents the entire table, <tr> represents a row, and <td> represents a cell within a row.
Forms: HTML provides form elements such as <form>, <input>, <select>, and <button> for creating interactive input fields, checkboxes, dropdown menus, and buttons, respectively.
These are just some of the fundamental elements in HTML. HTML is versatile and allows you to create complex structures and interactivity on web pages by combining these elements and utilizing additional attributes and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) for styling.
