What is HTML?

HyperText Markup Language is popularly known as HTML. It is the language that the web browser understands. Every web developer should learn this language and it is the basic language to start with.

Every web page you see on the internet is written in the HTML language. Even the page you are reading now uses HTML.

So now it might be clear to you, that running HTML code you don’t require installing any software. You can execute the HTML file in any of your internet browsers.

HTML is the common language that is understood by all web browsers today.

Different Types of Tags in HTML

In HTML, everything is written using tags and elements. It is a markup language that means it is used to mark the content in the web document.

An HTML document provides structural and semantic information of a webpage to the browser.

HTML contains a set of tags and elements that together form markup content. An element defines the purpose of a tag.

Start and end tags are used at the beginning and ending of an element.

For example:

<p> This is a paragraph </p>

The above is an example of the complete element from starting <p> tag, the content ‘This is a paragraph’ to the ending tag </p>.

1. Root element tag

The HTML element represents the root of any HTML document thus, <html> is the root element. The root element is present in all the documents and codes. The root element always contains a <head> and a <body> element.

<head> element is like a container that contains the information about the document and how it must be perceived by the browser or search engines.

It includes meta, titles, style, link, script, NoScript, and base. How to include these tags in the head? – we will see that in the latter part of the HTML tutorial.

Title Tag:

<title> element is one mandatory element within the <head> element. This title is displayed as the page title in the browser tab and also the search engines identify the page with the help of this title. So, each HTML document should compulsorily have a <title> tag.

Example:

<head>
    <title>This is a page title </title>
</head>

3. Body element tag

All the content that is visible in a browser is contained within the <body> element. Each HTML document has a <body> element under which all the content is written using different tags.

There can be only one <body> element in a document.

Example:

<body>
    <h1>This is a heading</h1>
</body>

What is Empty HTML element?

You might have wondered seeing some of the HTML tags do not have an ending tag.

Empty elements are those elements that have no content and can be used without a closing tag.

An example of such an element is <br> that is a break tag, it defines a break between lines. Empty HTML elements can be closed within the opening tag such as <br />.

Except for the empty elements, the rest all the elements needs a closing tag.

HTML Program Examples with Output using all the Basic Tags:

A cumulative example of all the elements we have described above is below.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Page Title</title>
    </head>

    <body>
        <h1>Homepage Headline</h1>
        <p>This is before the break tag<br />
        and this after the break tag.</p>
    </body>

</html>

Note: DOCTYPE is used to identify the type of document as an HTML file.

Don’t bother about the tags inside the body tag. I will tell you about these tags in the next tutorial in detail (link given below the post).
