HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages
HTML describes the structure of a Web page
HTML consists of a series of elements
HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content
HTML elements label pieces of content such as headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks, etc.
The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration defines that this document is an HTML5 document
The <html> element is the root element of an HTML page
The <head> element contains meta information about the HTML page
The <title> element specifies a title for the HTML page (which is shown in the browser's title bar or in the page's tab)
The <body> element defines the document's body, and is a container for all the visible contents, such as headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks, tables, lists, etc.
The <h1> element defines a large heading
The <p> element defines a paragraph
HTML tags follow a start - end format for encapsulating content; for instance, <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
Tags can be nested, enabling you to structure content hierarchically within a web document, leading to logical organization
An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag: <tagname> Content goes here... </tagname>
The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag: <h1>My First Heading</h1><p>My first paragraph.</p>
HTML elements can be nested (this means that elements can contain other elements)
All HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements
Headings such as <h1>, <h2>, etc., define the hierarchy and significance of content within a web page
They help users navigate through the page's structure and understand the relationships between different sections of the document
Properly structured headings enhance the search engine optimization (SEO) of a web page by providing clear content organization
