What is HTML?

Before we proceed, it's essential to understand the concept of HTML and its functionality.

For instance, take a look at the web page displayed below, accessible through the following link.

The HTML structure of the page is as follows:

html

index.html

copy

Let's delve into some explanations. Each HTML tag is enclosed within angle brackets, with a left bracket < and a right bracket >. Most HTML tags are designed in pairs, comprising both opening and closing tags. Closing tags are preceded by a forward slash /.

In the schema provided above, we have utilized the following tags:

  • <html> - defines an html document (compulsory tag for each document);
  • <title> - defines a page title (displayed in the tab bar);
  • <body> - defines the document's body;
  • <h2> - defines the second level of the heading (there are 6 levels available: <h1> - <h6>);
  • <p> - defines a paragraph.
