Introduction to HTML:-
HTML is stand for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is not a programming language, it is a markup language used to create web page. A markup language has a set of markup tags and HTML uses these tags to describe web pages. The first version of HTML was written by Tim Berners-Lee in 1993. Every HTML documents contains HTML tags and plain texts. The W3C has defined HTML as an application of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
HTML Tags:-
HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags-
- HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets (< >) like <html>
- HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>
- The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag.
- Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags.
HTML tags can be two types:-
- Paired Tag (Container)
- Singular Tags (Empty)
Container Tags: Tags which have both the opening and closing i.e. <TAG> and </TAG> are called container tags.
Empty Tags: Tags, which have only opening and no ending, are called empty tags. The <HR>, which is used to draw horizontal, rule across the width of the document, and line break <BR> tags are empty tags.
Example:-
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Example Explained:-
- 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
