Introduction to HTML

What does HTML stands for?

Table of contents

No heading

No headings in the article.

To be proceed, HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.

HTML is the code language we use to develop webpages and uses tags to define the structure and content of the webpage.

Example of HTML tags:

  • Title: This sets the title of the page, which is the title that appears in the browser tab the page is loaded in. The page title is also used to describe the page when it is bookmarked.

  • Head: The head tag represents a container for introductory content or a set of navigational links.

  • Body: The body tags contain all of the content that will appear on our webpage. This includes text, images, videos, games, playable audio tracks, or whatever else.

    We can write the body tags below all of the content that is wrapped in the Head tags.

  • Button: This tag will place a clickable button on our web page.

  • Hyperlink: can be added to an HTML page by wrapping it in a <a> tag. This gives us the attribute of href, which allows us to point to a link. We can also add the attribute target=”_blank” if we want our hyperlink to open in a new tab.

  • Footer: The footer element represents a container for information such as authorship information, copyright information, contact information, sitemap, back-to-top links, and related documents.
