Introduction to HTML for Beginners

What is HTML?
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is the standard language used to
create and design webpages. HTML uses 'tags' to structure content on the web.
These tags tell the browser how to display text, images, links, and other elements.

Basic Structure of an HTML Page


Every HTML document has a basic structure:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

Common HTML Tags


- <h1> to <h6>: Headings
- <p>: Paragraph
- <a href="url">: Link
- <img src="url" alt="text">: Image
- <ul>, <ol>, <li>: Lists (unordered, ordered)
- <div>: Division or section
- <br>: Line break
- <strong>: Bold text
- <em>: Italic text

Tips for Beginners


1. Use a simple code editor like VS Code or Notepad++.
2. Always close your tags properly.
3. Keep your code organized with indentation.
4. Practice by creating your own webpage projects.
5. View your file in a browser by saving it with a .html extension and opening it.
Final Thoughts
HTML is the foundation of web development. Learning it is the first step toward
building your own websites. It's easy to start and fun to explore, especially when
you see your work come to life in a browser!
