HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create web pages. With HTML, you can add text, images, videos, links, and other types of content to your web pages. If you're new to web development, this beginner's guide will help you learn the basics of HTML and start creating your own web pages.
1.Basic Structure of an HTML Document
- An HTML document is made up of elements, which are enclosed in tags. The basic structure of an HTML document includes the following tags:
<!DOCTYPE html> - This tag tells the browser which version of HTML you're using.
<html> - This tag indicates the start of the HTML document.
<head> - This tag contains information about the document, such as the title of the page and links to stylesheets.
<body> - This tag contains the main content of the page.Adding Text
To add text to your HTML document, use the <p> tag to create a paragraph. You can also use heading tags (<h1>, <h2>, <h3>, etc.) to create headings.
Adding Images
1.To add images to your HTML document, use the <img> tag. This tag requires a "src" attribute, which is the URL of the image file. You can also add alternative text for the image using the "alt" attribute.
- Adding Links
- To add links to your HTML document, use the <a> tag. This tag requires a "href" attribute, which is the URL of the page you want to link to. You can also add text for the link using the <a> tag.
- Creating Lists
- HTML provides two types of lists: ordered lists (<ol>) and unordered lists (<ul>). To create a list, use the <li> tag for each item in the list.
- Adding Styles
- To add styles to your HTML document, use the <style> tag or link to an external stylesheet using the <link> tag.
- Publishing Your Web Page
- To publish your web page, you need to upload your HTML file and any associated files (such as images and stylesheets) to a web server. You can use a web hosting service or set up your own web server.
With these basic HTML concepts, you can start creating your own web pages. As you continue to learn HTML, you can explore more advanced concepts such as forms, tables, and multimedia content.
