In order to learn HTML, we need to know exactly what it is and why we should learn it.
What is html?
HTML is a hypertext markup language; it is considered a standard for creating web pages and web applications. It uses tags and attributes in addition to elements in order to define the structure and meaning of the web content.
HyperText Markup Language What do we mean by that exactly?
Well said Like this, it sounds kind of complicated. I agree with you. Let’s try to understand what it is by understanding its words, according to ChatGPT.
Hypertext and Markup Language means that HTML uses hypertext and markup to create webpages.
The hypertext is used to link pieces, such as videos, photos, etc., together. It is also used to link between pages so we can navigate from one page to another.
while markup is used to add extra information to the text. For example, some text can be marked up to be bold or italic. It is also called a tag. Those tags are used to organize our code. A tag is an HTML instruction inside brackets, one closing and one opening. We can find tags that organize our code, such as the head tag and the body; others are used to add some styling to our code, such as the b tag, which makes the text bold; the i tag, which makes the text italic; and some of them introduce another language, such as CSS, by using the style tag or JS by using the script tag. We can also put images in our tags thanks to tags like img tags.
