Basic Overview of HTML

Basic overview of HTML

What is HTML?

The full form of HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language. Markup language doesn't need any script to perform function it uses tags for identifying any content. For example- <p>I am a sentence</p>. Here '<p>' is opening tag and '</p>' is closing tag.

The <html> Tag

There are several versions of  HTML but the basics are same. The opening tag is <html> and the closing tag is </html>. Example-
<html>
----------
</html>

The <head> Tag

Your document should posses a head portion which contains some non visible element that helps the page to work. To set head in your document write like this-
<html>
<head>..</head>
</html>

The <body> Tag

There is no document possible without body. So, to define body you should write like this-
<html>
<head>..</head>
<body>..</body>
</html>

Create Your HTML Page

You can use any kinds of notepad to write HTML as they are simple text files, but I prefer code editor notepad like Notepad++ as they help you to organize your codes very easily. Open your notepad and write the following things-

<html>
<head></head>
<body>This is my first text line</body>
</html>

Now save the file as .htm or .html file format. Example- Newpage.html 
Then open the file in a web browser. You should see your page like this-
First html page

Use <title> Tag

You should have a title in your page. So, add title by following manner-

<html>
<head><title>The first page</title>
</head>
<body>This is my first text line</body>
</html>

This will give you the following result-
HTML page with title
