Welcome to the Fundamentals of Html world development! HTML, or Hyper Text Markup Language, serves as the bedrock for crafting webpages that captivate and engage users. In this foundational chapter, we'll delve into the core principles of HTML, exploring its syntax, structural elements, and essential features.
Every HTML document follows a standardized structure that provides a framework for content presentation. Let’s dissect a basic HTML document and understand each component.
My First HTML Page
Hello, World!
This is a simple HTML document.
<!DOCTYPE html>
)The <!DOCTYPE html>
declaration informs the browser that the document is written in HTML5, the latest version of HTML.
body

HTML offers a variety of elements to structure text and define headings. Let’s explore these in a bit more detail
h1
to h6
)Headings range from <h1>
to <h6>
, with <h1>

Lists play a crucial role in organizing content. HTML supports three main types of lists: unordered, ordered, and definition lists.
ul
)The <ul>
element creates a bulleted list, and each list item is wrapped in <li>
tags.
ol
)The <ol>
element generates a numbered list, with each item designated by <li>
.
dl

element represents a definition list, with <dt>
for terms and <dd>
