Understanding HTML Structure
The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the standard language used to create web pages. It describes the structure of a webpage using a series of elements and tags.
Basic HTML Elements
HTML consists of several basic elements that create the building blocks of any web page. These elements include headings, paragraphs, links, images, and more.
Common HTML Tags
Some of the most common HTML tags include:
- <h1> to <h6>: Heading tags used to define headings.
- <p>: Defines a paragraph of text.
- <a>: Defines a hyperlink.
HTML Document Structure
An HTML document typically starts with a <!DOCTYPE > declaration, followed by the <> tag that wraps all the content. Inside the <> tag, there are two main sections: <head> and <body>.
The Head Section
The <head> section contains metadata, such as the document’s title, character set, and links to stylesheets and scripts.
The Body Section
The <body> section contains the visible content of the web page. This is where the majority of HTML tags and elements are placed.
