HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the programming language used to structure a web page and its content.
-
HTML specifies how webpage material is structured. HTML is made up of components that you may employ to enclose or wrap certain portions of the material to make it seem or function a specific manner.
-
I believe that HTML serves as a prerequisite for us to be able to not only program with JS and other programming languages, but to develop a strong foundation in the world of programming. Learning HTML is like dipping our toes in the swimming pool!

The surrounding tags can be used to make a word or picture hyperlink to another location, italicise words, change the font size, and so on.
-
There are two types of tags:
-
Opening tags: This is made up of the elementâs name (for example, p) surrounded by opening and closing angle brackets. This specifies the point at which the element begins to take effect â in this example, the beginning of the paragraph.
-
Closing tags: This is the same as the opening tag, but the element name is preceded by a forward slash. This specifies the point at which the element comes to an end.
-
This is any extra bit of info that we donât want to display in the main content of our element. Attributes have a name and a value. The attribute value is not unique; anything in the content with the same attribute value, will share the same features as stated in the attribute name.
-
The opening and closing tags (refer to point 5); the content (actual information we want to display on our webpage) and the element (everything pieced together).
