HTML Handbook

What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create and structure web pages.

• HyperText means the links that connect one web page to another.
• Markup Language means using special tags (like <p>, <h1>, <a>) so the browser understands how to display content such as headings, paragraphs, images, and links.
• HTML acts as the skeleton of a webpage, giving it structure, while CSS styles it and JavaScript makes it interactive.
• Every website you see on the internet is built with HTML at its core.

Note : - HTML is the backbone of every website that tells the browser what content to show and how it should be arranged.
