Note
Definition

HTML, short for HyperText Markup Language, is a markup language used to render web pages. Think of HTML as the framework that forms the core structure of a web page, making it user-friendly and easy to navigate.

For instance, take a look at the web page displayed below, accessible through the following link.

The HTML structure of the page is as follows:

index.html

index.html

copy

Each HTML tag is enclosed in angle brackets, with a left bracket < and a right bracket >. Most HTML tags come in pairs, consisting of opening and closing tags. A closing tag includes a forward slash /.

In the schema above, the following tags are used:

  • <html> - defines an HTML document (required for every document);
  • <title> - defines a page title displayed in the browser tab;
  • <body> - defines the body of the document;
  • <h2> - defines a second-level heading (six levels are available: <h1>–<h6>);
  • <p> - defines a paragraph.
