development.

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

<title>Title of the Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<!-- Content goes here -->

</body>

</html>

3. HTML Elements and Tags:

• Headings: Tags like <h1>, <h2>, ..., <h6> represent headings. <h1> is the largest and
most important heading, while <h6> is the smallest.

• Paragraphs: <p> is used to define paragraphs.

• Lists:

o Unordered List (<ul>) uses <li> for each item.
