Introduction to HTML
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the backbone of web development, providing the basic structure for web pages. It uses a system of tags and elements to define the content and layout of a webpage.
Key features of HTML include:
- Structuring Content – Defines headings, paragraphs, images, links, and lists.
- Semantic Elements – Improves accessibility and SEO with tags like
<header>
,<article>
, and<footer>
. - Forms and Inputs – Enables user interactions with fields, buttons, and checkboxes.
- Multimedia Support – Embeds images, audio, and video for a richer experience.
- Hyperlinking – Connects different web pages through anchor tags (
<a>
).
HTML works alongside CSS for styling and JavaScript for interactivity, forming the foundation of modern web development.
