                               HTML is the primary building block for creating a webpage.

                              Tags that have both opening and closing tags are known as container tags.                                                   HTML COMMENTS

                      Nesting of tags means that you can place a new tag inside another tag before closing the first one.
                      These tags follow the LIFO principle, which stands for Last In, First Out. This means the tag that is                     For example, <!-- This is a comment in HTML -->
                      opened last must be closed first.

                                                                                                                                                There are some rules for writing HTML codes:
                                 BASIC HTML TAGS                                                                                                   Container tags should always be closed properly.

                      Let’s learn the basic tags of HTML.                                                                                          Values given to the attributes should be enclosed within the double-quotes.
                                                                                                                                                   Tag name should not contain spaces.
                                                                                                                                                   There should be no space between < and > in a tag.
                                Tags                                      Description
                                                                                                                                                   Tags must be nested correctly.

                                                 The <HTML> tag tells the web browser that the text contained between
                              <HTML>             <HTML> and </HTML> is a web page and can be viewed using a web                                           STRUCTURE OF AN HTML DOCUMENT

                                                 The <HEAD> tag represents the header area of the document. It
                              <HEAD>             contains information about the document title, scripts and style                                <!DOCTYPE HTML>

                                                 definitions used in the document.                                                               <HTML>
                                                                                                                                                   <HEAD>
                                                 The <TITLE> tag represents the title of the document and is used inside                             <TITLE> The title of the webpage goes here. </TITLE>
                               <TITLE>           the <HEAD> tag. The title appears on the title bar of the browser window.
                                                                                                                                                   </HEAD>
                                                 If you do not want to give title to your web page, you can skip it.

                                                                                                                                                   <BODY>
                                                 The <BODY> tag defines the part of the HTML document that is visible

                      An attribute is used to define some extra features or properties of an HTML tag. All attributes
                      have two parts: name and value. The ‘name’ is the property that you want to set. The ‘value’ is
                      what you want for the respective property.
