## Introduction to HTML Coding Basics

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


create and structure content on the web. Every website you visit is built upon
a foundation of HTML, making it one of the most essential languages for any
aspiring web developer or digital creator.

## 🔧 What HTML Does

- **Structures Content**: HTML defines the layout and organization of text,


images, links, and other elements.

- **Forms Web Pages**: It works together with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
and JavaScript to form interactive and styled websites.

- **Uses Tags and Elements**: HTML is made up of tags like `<p>`, `<h1>`,
`<a>`, and `<div>`, each serving a specific purpose.

## Basic HTML Structure

Here’s the skeleton of a simple HTML document:


```html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>My First Web Page</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

<p>This is my first HTML paragraph.</p>

</body>

</html>

```

- `<!DOCTYPE html>` declares the document type.

- `<html>` is the root element.

- `<head>` contains metadata and the title.

- `<body>` holds the visible content of the page.

## 🧩 Common Tags and Their Uses

| Tag | Purpose |

|------------|----------------------------------|

| `<h1>` | Heading 1 (main title) |

| `<p>` | Paragraph of text |

| `<a>` | Hyperlink to another page or site|


| `<img>` | Displays an image |

| `<ul>` / `<li>` | Unordered list and list items |

Each tag is used in pairs—a start tag `<p>` and an end tag `</p>`—except
for self-closing ones like `<img />`.

## 🌐 Why Learn HTML?

- **Accessibility**: HTML ensures that content is available to all users,


including those using screen readers.

- **Career Opportunities**: Web development, UX/UI design, digital


marketing, and even blogging benefit from knowing HTML.

- **Empowerment**: With HTML, you control how your content appears and
behaves online.
