HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language used to

create and design documents on the World Wide Web. It forms the backbone of
web development and provides a structured way to present content on the
internet. HTML allows developers to define the structure and layout of a web
page by using a system of elements or tags that encapsulate various content
elements.

Key points about HTML:

1. Markup Language: HTML is a markup language that uses a set of tags to define
the structure and elements within a document. These tags are embedded within
the content and provide instructions on how the content should be displayed.

2. Document Structure: An HTML document is organized using a hierarchical


structure, consisting of elements nested within each other. The basic structure
includes an opening <html> tag, which encloses the entire document, and within
it, there are <head> and <body> sections.

3. Tags: HTML tags are used to mark up different types of content, such as
headings, paragraphs, lists, images, links, and more. Tags are typically written as
pairs, with an opening tag and a corresponding closing tag. For example, <p> is
an opening paragraph tag, and </p> is its closing tag.

4. Attributes: HTML tags can have attributes that provide additional information
about the elements. Attributes are included within the opening tag and are used
to modify the behavior or appearance of the element. For instance, the <a>
(anchor) tag can have an href attribute to specify the hyperlink reference.

5. Hyperlinks: HTML allows the creation of hyperlinks using the <a> (anchor) tag.
Hyperlinks enable users to navigate between different web pages or resources.
The href attribute in the anchor tag specifies the URL to which the link points.
6. Multimedia Integration: HTML supports the integration of multimedia elements
such as images, audio, and video. Tags like <img>, <audio>, and <video> are
used for embedding multimedia content.

7. Semantic Markup: HTML5 introduced semantic elements that provide meaning


to the structure of a web page. Examples include <header>, <footer>, <nav>,
<article>, <section>, and <aside>. These elements make it easier for search
engines and developers to understand the purpose of different sections of a
page.

8. Cross-Browser Compatibility: HTML is designed to be compatible with different


web browsers, ensuring that web pages look and function consistently across
various platforms
