 HTML is a language for describing web
pages.
 HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup
Language
 HTML is not a programming language, it
is a markup language
 HTML tags are keywords surrounded by
angle brackets like <html>
 HTML tags normally come in pairs like
<b> and </b>
 The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the
second tag is the end tag

 HTML documents describe web pages
 HTML documents contain HTML tags and

 HTML documents are also called web pages
The purpose of a web browser (like Google
Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer etc.) is
to read HTML documents and display them
as web pages. The browser does not display
the HTML tags, but uses the tags to
interpret the content of the page:
<html>
<head>
<title>The name of the first page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
Heading Tags:
<h1>This is h1 heading</h1>
<h2>This is a h2 heading</h2>
<h3>This is a h3 heading</h3>
<h4>This is a h4 heading</h4>
<h5>This is a h5 heading</h5>
<h6>This is a h6 heading</h6>
