HTML Basics

What is HTML?
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages and

web applications. It describes the structure of a web page using elements represented by tags.

HTML Structure
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Page Title</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>This is a Heading</h1>

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>

</html>

Common HTML Tags


<html>: Root element of an HTML document.

<head>: Contains metadata and links to styles/scripts.

<body>: Contains the content of the web page.

<h1> to <h6>: Define headings.

<p>: Defines a paragraph.

<a>: Defines hyperlinks.

<img>: Embeds images.

Attributes
Attributes provide additional information about an element. They are defined in the opening tag and

usually come in name/value pairs.

Example:

<img src='image.jpg' alt='Description'>

Lists
HTML provides two types of lists:

1. Ordered List (<ol>) - Numbered items.

2. Unordered List (<ul>) - Bulleted items.

Example:

<ul>

<li>Item 1</li>

<li>Item 2</li>

</ul>

Tables
Tables are used to display data in rows and columns.

Example:

<table>

<tr>

<th>Header 1</th>

<th>Header 2</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Data 1</td>

<td>Data 2</td>

</tr>
</table>

Forms
Forms are used to collect user input.

Example:

<form action='/submit'>

<label for='name'>Name:</label>

<input type='text' id='name' name='name'>

<input type='submit' value='Submit'>

</form>
