To create a blank HTML page, you can use any text editor, such as Notepad, TextEdit, or Visual Studio Code.

  1. Open your text editor and create a new file.
  2. Save the file with a .html extension.
  3. In the file, type the following code:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Blank HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

This code is the basic structure of an HTML page. The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration tells the browser that the document is an HTML document. The <html> and </html> tags enclose the entire HTML document. The <head> and </head> tags contain information about the document, such as the title. The <body> and </body> tags contain the content of the document, which is what the user will see when they open the page.

  • Save the file and open it in a web browser. You should see a blank page with the title “My Blank HTML Page”.

You can now start adding content to your page by adding elements to the <body> tag. For example, you could add a heading, some paragraphs of text, or an image.

Here is an example of a simple HTML page with some content:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is my HTML page!</h1>
<p>This is some text on my page.</p>
<img src="image.jpg" alt="My image">
</body>
</html>

When you open this page in a web browser, you should see a heading that says “This is my HTML page!”, followed by some text and an image.

You can learn more about HTML by visiting the W3Schools HTML tutorial.
