HTML Tutorial

What is HTML?

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the standard language used to create webpages. It tells your web browser how to display text, images, links, videos, and other content on the screen.

HTML is not a programming language – it’s a markup language. This means it’s used to “mark up” or label content so browsers know how to structure and display it.

• Hyper Text: Refers to links that connect web pages to each other

• Markup Language: Refers to the use of tags to define elements on the page

Features are:

Simple and Easy to Learn

• HTML has a straightforward syntax using tags (like <p>, <h1>, <a>)

• You don’t need any prior programming knowledge to get started

Platform-Independent

• HTML works across all operating systems and web browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.)
• Just write once, and it can be viewed anywhere on the web

Hyperlinking Capabilities

• With tags like <a>, HTML lets you connect to other pages, sites, files, or even parts of the same page

• This is what makes the “web” a web — everything is linked!

Supports Multimedia

• You can embed images, videos, audio, and animations

• Tags like <img>, <video>, and <audio> make this easy

Integrates with CSS & JavaScript

• HTML provides the structure

• CSS adds style

• JavaScript adds interactivity

• Together they create fully functional websites
