Introduction to HTML

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the standard language for creating web pages. It provides the structure of a webpage, allowing you to embed images, videos, and other content. Understanding HTML is essential for anyone looking to build a website.

Basic Structure

A basic HTML document consists of a doctype declaration, followed by the html element, which contains the head and body sections. The head section includes metadata, while the body contains the content displayed on the page.

HTML is the backbone of web development.
