HTML or Hypertext Markup Language is the primary building block for creating a webpage.
Tags that have both opening and closing tags are known as container tags.
NESTING OF TAGS
Nesting of tags means that you can start a new tag before closing the previous tag. These tags are
nested according to the Last In First Out (LIFO) principle. It means the tag that has been opened
the most needs to be closed first.
BASIC HTML TAGS
Let’s learn the basic tags of HTML.
Tags Description
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
browser.
The <HEAD> tag represents the header area of the document. It
<HEAD> contains information about the document title, scripts and style
definitions used in the document.
The <TITLE> tag represents the title of the document and is used inside
<TITLE> the <HEAD> tag. The title appears on the title bar of the browser window.
If you do not want to give title to your web page, you can skip it.
The <BODY> tag defines that section of the HTML document which is
visible on the web browser. It contains all other tags that define the
<BODY>
content presentation elements such as images, lists, tables, text and
links to move between the webpages.
ATTRIBUTES
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 name.
