HTML
HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language used to create and design documents on the World Wide Web. It forms the backbone of web pages and provides the structure and layout by using a system of tags and attributes.
Key Concepts in HTML:
Markup Language: HTML uses markup tags to define the structure of web content. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets
< >and typically come in pairs (opening and closing tags) to surround content.Elements: HTML documents are made up of HTML elements, which are the building blocks of HTML pages. An element usually consists of a start tag, content, and an end tag. Example:
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
Attributes: HTML elements can have attributes that provide additional information about elements. Attributes are always specified in the start tag and are written as name/value pairs. Example:
<a href="https://example.com">Link</a>
Structure: HTML documents have a hierarchical structure with certain required elements such as
<html>,<head>, and<body>. These elements define the basic skeleton of a web page.Semantic Markup: HTML5 introduced many new elements that provide semantic meaning to web content, making it more accessible and SEO-friendly. Examples include
<header>,<footer>,<article>,<section>,<nav>, etc.HTML5: The latest version of HTML as of now is HTML5, which includes new features such as native support for multimedia (audio and video), new form controls, canvas for drawing, and more.
