HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the markup language used to display content on the web.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- Include all your style sheet links in the head tags-->
<!-- CSS link-->
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='custom.css'>
<!-- Style-->
<style >
/* You can put css code here or in your style sheet*/
</style>
<!-- Page Title shown in the browser -->
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<!-- Main Content Area-->
<body>
<!-- Containers for your content-->
<p>I am a paragraph!</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML tags (i.e.<p></p>) are used to define elements.
Tags are used to format a document. Some tags may format the entire document, but many only formats a specific part of it. Tags are commands read by the web browser, but not displayed in the browser.
HTML tags define the content contained within them. There are a lot of tags used in HTML. Some tags may define formatting for the entire file, while some may format individual pieces of content.
An HTML element is an individual component within the web page. Most elements will consist of a starting element tag, content, then an ending tag. However, some elements do not require an ending tag.
Here is a paragraph element:
<p>I am a paragraph!</p>
HTML files have the file extension .html
