What is HTML?

Please Share On:

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.

HTML is used for creating web pages and their content.

HTML is very easy to learn.

Syntax:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My Heading</title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <h1>Heading</h1>
    <p>First Paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html>

All HTML documents must start with a document type declaration: <!DOCTYPE html>. It helps browsers to display web pages correctly and only write once at the top of the html code.
HTML starts with <html> opening tags and ends with </html> ending tags.
Next, there is a head with opening <head> and closing </head> tag. Inside head tag, you write the title of the page with opening <title> and closing </title> title tag.
All body content will be written inside opening <body> and closing </body> body tags.

You can write HTML code in any editor software or you can write in notepad.
