HTML is the Hypertext Markup Language for creating Web pages.

• Hypertext refers to the way in which Web pages (HTML documents) are linked together. Thus, the link available on a webpage is called Hypertext.
• As its name suggests, HTML is a Markup Language which means you use HTML to simply "mark-up" a text document with tags that tell a Web browser how to structure it to display.

• HTML describes the structure of Web pages using markup

• To create an HTML file we can use any text editors.
• Text editors are the programs which allow editing in a written text, hence to create a web page we need to write our code in some text editor.
• There are various types of text editors available which you can directly download, In my opinion VSCode is one of the best editor to code HTML pages

Step 1: Open VSCode and select New File

Step 2: Select Language Mode HTML

Step 3: Write HTML code

Step 4: Save the HTML file with .htm or .html extension.

Step 5: Run the file

An HTML document consists of its basic building blocks which are:

• Tags: An HTML tag surrounds the content and applies meaning to it. It is written between < and > brackets.
• Attribute : An attribute in HTML provides extra information about the element, and it is applied within the start tag. An HTML attribute contains two fields: name & value.

1. name attribute_name = " attr_value" > content </</span> tag name >
