6 Introduction To HTML

HTML is the standard markup language used to define the structure of web pages. HTML uses elements (tags) to describe headings, paragraphs, links, images, and other content. Tags are surrounded by angle brackets and normally come in pairs of opening and closing tags. Attributes provide additional information about elements, such as hyperlinks using the "href" attribute or images specifying the image source with the "src" attribute. Common HTML tags were presented for formatting text such as bold, italics, headings, paragraphs, and line breaks.
