HTML Basics

HTML gives every page its skeleton. Learn the few tags that carry 90% of the web.

What is HTML? HTML (HyperText Markup Language) describes the structure of a page using elements. Most elements wrap content in an opening tag and a closing tag — like <h1> for big headings and <p> for paragraphs. Everything lives inside a single root element: <html>.

Example A complete first page

hello.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Hello</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Learning objectives

  • Understand HTML structure — how tags nest inside <html>, <head> and <body>.
  • Use common tags — headings, paragraphs and titles.
  • Create headings and paragraphs that browsers can render instantly.
