Introduction to HTML
•HTML is a language for describing web pages.
•HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
•HTML is a markup language
•A markup language is a set of markup tags
•The tags describe document content
•HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text
•HTML documents are also called web pages
Introduction to HTML(Continued)
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

Example Explained
•The DOCTYPE declaration defines the document type
•The text between <html> and </html> describes the web page
•The text between <body> and </body> is the visible page content
•The text between <h1> and </h1> is displayed as a heading
•The text between <p> and </p> is displayed as a paragraph
HTML Tags
•HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags.

•HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets like <html>

•HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p>

•The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag

•The end tag is written like the start tag, with a slash before the tag name

•Start and end tags are also called opening tag and closing tag <tagname>content</tagname>
HTML Elements
The start tag is often called the opening tag. The end tag is often called the closing tag.

HTML Element Syntax:


•An HTML element starts with a start tag / opening tag
•An HTML element ends with an end tag / closing tag
•The element content is everything between the start and the end tag
•Some HTML elements have empty content
•Empty elements are closed in the start tag
•Most HTML elements can have attributes

Nested HTML Elements:


Most HTML elements can be nested (can contain other HTML elements).HTML documents
consist of nested HTML elements.
HTML Elements(Continued)
The <p> element:
<p>This is my first paragraph.</p>
The <p> element defines a paragraph in the HTML document.
The element has a start tag <p> and an end tag </p>.
The element content is: This is my first paragraph.
The <body> element:
<body>
<p>This is my first paragraph.</p>
</body>
The <body> element defines the body of the HTML document.
The element has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>.
The element content is another HTML element (a p element).
The <html> element:
<html>
<body>
<p>This is my first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
The <html> element defines the whole HTML document.
The element has a start tag <html> and an end tag </html>.
The element content is another HTML element (the body element).
HTML Attributes
HTML elements can have attributes
Attributes provide additional information about an element
Attributes are always specified in the start tag
Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value“

Attribute Example:
HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is specified in the href attribute.

Example
<a href="https://www.jiscollege.ac.in">This is a link</a>
HTML Heading

Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.


<h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important heading.
HTML Paragraphs
The <p> tag defines a paragraph. Browsers automatically add some space (margin) before and
after each <p> element. The margins can be modified with CSS (with the margin properties).
HTML Text Formatting Tags
These HTML tags are called formatting tags:

•<b> Defines bold text


•<em> Defines emphasized text 
•<i>Defines a part of text in an alternate voice or mood
•<small> Defines smaller text
•<strong> Defines important text
•<sub>Defines subscripted text
•<sup> Defines superscripted text
•<ins> Defines inserted text
•<del> Defines deleted text
•<mark> Defines marked/highlighted text
•<pre> Defines preformatted text
