Introduction to HTML

 


Before starting HTML course, I feel it's quite necessary to discuss some questions, that comes in mind and they are also important for us, that include why do we study HTML? Why HTML is important? What we can get from it? Why should we learn HTML? Is it difficult to learn HTML? Where can we code it? And many other questions like that.

HTML stands for "Hypertext markup language". It is not a programming language because there is no logic used in it's code. HTML use markup system composed of elements which represent specific content. Markup means by using HTML you can specify, declare what is presented to viewer and how it is represented. Visual representations are defined by cascading style sheet(CSS) which we will learn afterward, InshaAllah. But HTML also include some styling attributes like font, font-weight, color and many other.

HTML code comprises of tags. Each tag has it's own meaning and purpose. Tags are predefined that provide semantic meanings and machine readability to content in page. 

           <p> is a simple tag that is commonly used in HTML code. Here "p" is called element. Every text enclosed in angled brackets is called element and as whole it is a tag.

Understanding HTML can help you to work with web, you can create attractive responsive sites. However website editors use blogging tools, java script, CSS and other tools to create better content but you can design simple site using HTML and CSS. In coming blogs, you will learn about creating web pages, adding tags, list, tables images, videos and many other things in your web page. We can write HTML code in a simple notepad, you can also use different software like Notepad++, Visual studio code, Komodo Edit, Cofeecup HTML editor etc. Open your saved file in any browser.
