Introduction to HTML

What is HTML?


HTML is a language for describing web pages. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is not a programming language, it is a markup language. A markup language is a set of markup tags. HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages.

HTML Tags

HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like <html>. HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>.The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag. Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags


Example


<html>
<body>

 <h1>This is heading</h1>

 <p>This is paragraph</p>

</body>
</html>
