What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to structure content on the web.

HTML describes the STRUCTURE of a page using elements — headings, paragraphs, links, images, forms — while CSS handles appearance and JavaScript handles behaviour.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>My First Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Tip

Remember: HTML is a MARKUP language, not a programming language — it has no logic or loops of its own.
