HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.

It is the standard language used to create and structure web pages on the internet.

What HTML does

HTML tells the browser what content exists and how it’s organized, such as:

  • Headings
  • Paragraphs
  • Images
  • Links
  • Buttons
  • Forms
  • Lists
  • Tables

HTML does not style or animate by itself—it only defines structure and meaning.

How HTML works

HTML uses tags (elements) wrapped in angle brackets:

<h1>Hello World</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<a href="https://example.com">Visit site</a>
  • <h1> → heading
  • <p> → paragraph
  • <a> → link
  • href → attribute that gives extra information

Basic HTML page structure

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>My Website</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Welcome</h1>
  <p>This is my website.</p>
</body>
</html>

How HTML fits with other web technologies

  • HTML → structure (content)
  • CSS → design (colors, layout, fonts)
  • JavaScript → behavior (interactivity, logic)

In simple terms

👉 HTML is the skeleton of a website
CSS is the skin and clothes
JavaScript is the brain and muscles
