Step 2 of 10

My First HTML Page

📖 Lesson

What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the foundation of every web page. It's the language that tells the browser what's on the page.

HTML uses tags - markers in angle brackets:

<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>

Basic HTML tags

Every tag opens and closes: <p>text</p>. The image tag <img> is an exception - it has no closing tag.

Structure of an HTML page

Every HTML page has this basic skeleton:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Page title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    Page content...
  </body>
</html>

<head> = metadata (title, styles) | <body> = what people see

💻 Example to try

index.php
