Introduction to HTML

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create web pages. With HTML, you can create structured and formatted content that can be viewed on different devices and browsers.

To create a web page in HTML, it is necessary to have a basic knowledge of the syntax of the language and the tags used to format the content. Tags are elements that tell the browser how the content should be displayed on the screen.

There are several HTML tags available, each with its own specific function. Some of the more common tags include:

  • <html>: indicates the beginning of the HTML document
  • <head>: contains information about the document, such as the title and meta tags
  • <body>: contains the main content of the page
  • <p>: indicates a paragraph of text
  • <a>: Creates a link to another page or resource
  • <img>: displays an image on the page

In addition to tags, you can use attributes to modify the element's behavior or style. For example, the tag <a> can receive the href attribute, which indicates the link address.

Another important feature of HTML is the ability to create nested elements, that is, elements within other elements. This allows you to create complex structures and format content in a more granular way.
