What is HTML?
 HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
 HTML is the standard markup language for
creating Web pages
 HTML describes the structure of a Web page
 HTML consists of a series of elements
 HTML elements tell the browser how to
display the content
 HTML elements label pieces of content such
as "this is a heading", "this is a paragraph",
"this is a link", etc.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Note: Only the content
inside the <body> section
(in red) will be displayed in
a browser.

 The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration defines that this
document is an HTML5 document
 The <html> element is the root element of an HTML
page
 The <head> element contains meta information about
the HTML page
 The <title> element specifies a title for the HTML
page (which is shown in the browser's title bar or in
the page's tab)
 The <body> element defines the document's body,
and is a container for all the visible contents, such as
headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks, tables,
lists, etc.
 The <h1> element defines a large heading
 The <p> element defines a paragraph

 An HTML element is defined by a start tag,
some content, and an end tag:
<tagname>Content goes here...</tagname>
 The HTML element is everything from the
start tag to the end tag:
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

Note: Some HTML elements have no content (like the <br>
element). These elements are called empty elements.
Empty elements do not have an end tag!
Start tag Element content End tag
<h1> My First Heading </h1>
<p> My first paragraph </p>
<br> none none

 The purpose of a web browser (Chrome,
Edge, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML
documents and display them correctly.
 A browser does not display the HTML tags,
but uses them to determine how to display
the document:
