Html Introduction..

HTML which stands for Hypertext Markup Language is a set of codes inside a file which displays on the internet. HTML can be likened to an uncompleted building which hasn’t been painted. It is the structure of a webpage..

MEANING OF CERTAIN TAGS:

• DOCTYPE: The Doctype tag tells us the version of HTML the page is written in.

• HTML TAG: HTML tag is a code that describes how a web page is formatted. HTML tag is the mother of all tags.

• HEAD TAG: This is a container for metadata (data about data), it is placed between the html and body tag. Metadata is data about the HTML document. Metadata is not displayed.

• BODY TAG: The body tag defines a document body. It contains all the contents of an HTML document such as headings, images, tables, list etc.

Tags are also divided into semantic (convey meaning) and non-semantic tags (doesn't convey meaning).

• Html, head, body, title, strong and mark are semantic tags.

• H1-H6, Meta, p, img, div and a tag are non-semantic tag.
