What is HTML?
Before we proceed, it's essential to understand the concept of HTML and its functionality.
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:
main.html
Let's delve into some explanations. Each HTML tag is enclosed within angle brackets, with a left bracket <
and a right bracket >
. Most HTML tags are designed in pairs, comprising both opening and closing tags. Closing tags are preceded by a forward slash /
.
In the schema provided above, we have utilized the following tags:
<html>
- defines an html document (compulsory tag for each document);<title>
- defines a page title (displayed in the tab bar);<body>
- defines the document's body;<h2>
- defines the second level of the heading (there are 6 levels available:<h1>
-<h6>
);<p>
- defines a paragraph.
