Learning HTML: #part 1

What is HTML?

HTML is a markup language for describing web documents (web pages).

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
A markup language is a set of markup tags
HTML documents are described by HTML tags
Each HTML tag describes different document content

HTML Tags

HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets:

<tagname>content</tagname>

HTML tags normally come in pairs like <p> and </p>
The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
The end tag is written like the start tag, but with a slash before the tag name

The tags used in above example are explained here:
Open the Notepad++ file
type the following code

<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>This is a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

save the file with .html extension
for example: sample.html

HTML can be edited by using professional HTML editors like:

Microsoft WebMatrix
Sublime Text

For learning HTML we recommend a text editor like Notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac).

The DOCTYPE declaration defines the document type to be HTML
The text between <html> and </html> describes an HTML document
The text between <head> and </head> provides information about the document
The text between <title> and </title> provides a title for the document
The text between <body> and </body> describes the visible page content
The text between <h1> and </h1> describes a heading
The text between <p> and </p> describes a paragraph

<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<h2>This is a heading</h2>
<h3>This is a heading</h3>

so on.....
