Understanding HTML Structure

In this part, we will delve into the basics of HTML structure. HTML, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language, is the foundation of any web page. It uses tags to define the different elements within a webpage.

HTML Tags

HTML tags are used to mark up content on a webpage. They are enclosed in angle brackets like <tag>. Some common tags include:

<html> - defines the root of an HTML document
<head> - contains meta-information about the document
<body> - contains the content of the document
<h1>, <h2>, <h3> - headings of different levels
<p> - defines a paragraph
<a> - defines a hyperlink
<img> - embeds an image

            </head>
            <body>
                <h1>Welcome to My Web Page!</h1>
                <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
