HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and it is the standard language for creating web pages and web applications. HTML describes the structure and content of a web page using tags and attributes. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets (< and >) and they indicate how the browser should display the content. Attributes are additional information that modify the behavior or appearance of a tag.
For example, this is a simple HTML document:
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
</body>
</html>
The <html> tag defines the whole document as an HTML document. The <head> tag contains information about the document, such as the title that appears on the browser tab. The <title> tag specifies the title of the document. The <body> tag contains the visible content of the document, such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, etc. The <h1> tag defines a heading of level 1, which is usually the largest and most important heading on a web page. The <p> tag defines a paragraph of text.
HTML tags can have attributes that provide additional information or functionality. Attributes are specified inside the opening tag, after the tag name, using the syntax name="value". For example, this is an HTML document with some attributes:
<html lang="en"><head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>My Second Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="color:blue;">Hello, World!</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph of text with a <a href="https://www.bing.com" target="_blank">link</a> to Bing.
</p>
<img src="logo.png" alt="Bing Logo" width="100" height="100">
</body>
</html>
The lang attribute on the <html> tag specifies the language of the document, which helps with accessibility and search engine optimization. The meta tag with the charset attribute specifies the character encoding of the document, which helps with displaying special characters correctly. The style attribute on the <h1> tag applies some CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) rules to change the color of the heading. The href attribute on the <a> tag defines the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the link. The target attribute on the <a> tag specifies where to open the link, in this case in a new browser tab. The src attribute on the <img> tag defines the source of the image file. The alt attribute on the <img> tag provides an alternative text for the image, which helps with accessibility and SEO. The width and height attributes on the <img> tag specify the dimensions of the image in pixels.
HTML is a very powerful and flexible language that allows you to create any kind of web page you can imagine. However, HTML alone is not enough to create a modern and interactive web page. You also need to use other languages and technologies, such as CSS, JavaScript, PHP, etc., to enhance your web page with style, functionality, and dynamic content.
