Today, I will introduce the basics of HTML. If you're new to HTML, you may be wondering what it is exactly.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, standard markup language for creating Web pages, describes the structure of a Web page, consists of a series of elements, and tells the browser how to display the content
HTML elements label pieces of content such as "this is a heading", "this is a paragraph", "this is a link", etc.
The Doctype html declaration defines that this document is an HTML5 document
The html element is the root element of an HTML page
The head element contains meta information about the HTML page
The title element specifies a title for the HTML page (which is shown in the browser's title bar or in the page's tab)
The body element defines the document's body, and is a container for all the visible contents, such as headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks, tables, lists, etc.
The h1 element defines a large heading
The p element defines a paragraph
Let's respond to the question What exactly is an HTML element?
An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag, everything from the start tag to the end tag:
For example, this is the h1 start tag, following content, and comes to the h1 end tag, this is all together called elements.
Some HTML elements don't have content (like the br element, which is the line break element).
These elements are called empty elements.
Empty elements don't have an end tag!
The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and display them correctly.
A browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses them to determine how to display the document:
This is the Web browser, and this is the HTML page structure.
The content inside the body section will be displayed in a browser. The content inside the title element will be shown in the browser's title bar or in the page's tab.
Finally, I'll talk about editors.
What do editors do?
Editors or text editors are software programs that enable the user to create and edit text files.
In the field of programming, the term editor usually refers to source code editors that include many special features for writing and editing code.
