Hyper text markup language is code used to structure a web page and the contents of that page.

HTML is used to create and structure content on a web page to appear/act a certain way visually

HTML allows for its creators/users to customize their own webpages

HTML tags are what structures the webpages. HTML tags consist of the tag names in brackets that come in pairs that has an opening and closing parts surrounding the element.

The beginning tag has the name that identifies what sort of element will be on the webpage. The ending tag usually has a slash within the name to close up the command. Within those tags is the content which makes up the main visual words that will be seen.

An attribute is extra information of an element that the creator does not want to be visually seen. These attributes are specified at the start and come in pairs like class=“value”

HTML documents have a head and body element. The head provides the page title and general format of the webpage, while the body is where the main HTML content texts are in.

  7. This is the anatomy of an HTML document * <!DOCTYPE html> — doctype. It is a required preamble. In the mists of time, when HTML was young (around 1991/92), doctypes were meant to act as links to a set of rules that the HTML page had to follow to be considered good HTML, which could mean automatic error checking and other useful things. However these days, they don’t do much and are basically just needed to make sure your document behaves correctly. That’s all you need to know for now.
  • <html></html> — the <html> element. This element wraps all the content on the entire page and is sometimes known as the root element.
  • <head></head> — the <head> element. This element acts as a container for all the stuff you want to include on the HTML page that isn’t the content you are showing to your page’s viewers. This includes things like keywords and a page description that you want to appear in search results, CSS to style our content, character set declarations, and more.
  • <meta charset="utf-8"> — This element sets the character set your document should use to UTF-8 which includes most characters from the vast majority of written languages. Essentially, it can now handle any textual content you might put on it. There is no reason not to set this and it can help avoid some problems later on.
  • <title></title> — the <title> element. This sets the title of your page, which is the title that appears in the browser tab the page is loaded in. It is also used to describe the page when you bookmark/favorite it.
  • <body></body> — the <body> element. This contains all the content that you want to show to web users when they visit your page, whether that’s text, images, videos, games, playable audio tracks, or whatever else.
