HTML Introduction & Structure
HTML is the skeleton of all web pages. It provides structure to the content appearing on a website, such as images, text, or videos.
What is HTML?
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is not a programming language like JavaScript or Python; it is a markup language. This means it uses "tags" to annotate text so the browser knows how to display it.
The Browser's Role
Web browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) read HTML documents and display them. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses them to determine how to present the document to the user.
Basic Structure
Every HTML page follows a standard structure: the <!DOCTYPE html> declaration, the root <html> element, the <head> for metadata, and the <body> for visible content.
