What is HTML?

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is a standard markup language for creating web pages. It is basic skeleton of a web page. When a user wants to create and structure sections, paragraphs and heading for web pages and applications, they can do it with the help of HTML. It would be best if you didn’t confuse HTML with a programming language. The main reason for that is HTML can’t create dynamic functionally. HTML is a program that makes it possible for users to organize and format documents.

HTML STRUCTURE:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>OSS Spark 2024</title>
</head>
<body>
  
  <h1>Welcome to the first class</h1>
  <p>This is a paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>
