What is HTML
HTML stands
for HyperText Markup Language. It is the standard language used to
create and design the structure of web pages. Every website
you visit is built using HTML as its foundation.
Key Concepts of HTML:
- Markup Language:
HTML is not a programming language. It's a markup language that
uses "tags" to label different parts of content (like headings,
paragraphs, links, images, etc.).
- HyperText:
The "HyperText" part means that HTML can link to other pages
using hyperlinks, allowing you to navigate between web pages.
How HTML Works:
When you open a webpage,
your web browser (like Chrome or Firefox) reads the HTML code from the server
and renders it into a readable and viewable format for you.
Why HTML Matters:
- It is the backbone of every web page.
- It works closely with CSS (for
styling) and JavaScript (for interactivity).
- It is easy to learn and essential for anyone starting web development.
