In the previous class, we learnt about HTML, which stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It
is used to structure web pages with elements like paragraphs, headings, links, and block quotes.
HTML is platform-independent, meaning the output looks the same across different operating
systems. We have also covered key features of HTML, including its simplicity, flexibility, and ease
of use. HTML uses special symbols called tags to structure content, and we discussed various
HTML tags and attributes in the previous class.
<HTML> Tag: The container for all HTML elements on a page. It marks the start and end of
an HTML document.
<HEAD> Tag: This tag contains metadata about the web page, which doesn't display on the
page itself.
<TITLE> Tag: This tag defines the title of the web page shown on the browser tab. It’s
placed within the <HEAD> tag.
<BODY> Tag: This tag contains the content that will be visible on the web page, including
text, images, and links.
Some other important tags:
<H1> to <H6>: These tags are used for headings, with <H1> being the most important and
largest, and <H6> being the least important and smallest.
<P> Tag: This tag defines a paragraph of text.
<BR> Tag: This tag inserts a line break, moving the content to the next line without adding
space.
<HR> Tag: This tag inserts a horizontal line (rule) to separate content into sections.
<B>, <I>, and <U> Tags: These tags are used to apply bold, italic, and underline styles to
text, respectively.
<SUP> and <SUB> Tags: These tags are used for superscript (e.g., 2 in E=mc²) and subscript
(e.g., 2 in H₂O) text formatting.
<A> Tag: This tag is used to create hyperlinks, allowing users to navigate to other web
pages or resources.
