HTML TUTORIAL FOR BEGINNERS

Posted by sanjeev kumar on April 21st, 2021

The World Wide Web is a sensational new medium, which brings information,

advertising, images, and what not to every desktop. Do you know whatever you see on the web is documents written in a particular language called HTML? HTML tells the browsers like Internet Explorer or Netscape, or Mosaic how to display pictures, links and texts on the screen. 

In this HTML tutorial for beginners, we'll present to you the basics of HTML. But before that, let's have a quick glance at what HTML is.

What is HTML? 

The HyperText Markup Language or HTML is a document layout and hyperlink-specification language. The HTML instructs the browser on displaying the contents of a hypertext document, i.e. a document including text, images and other support media. This language also guides on how to make an interactive document using particular hyperlinks.

Now, let's get straight away to the point of this HTML tutorial. Made up of tags and attributes or elements, HTML works together to identify document parts and tell browsers how to display them. All the HTML tags go within angle brackets (< >) e.g. <HEAD> and <H1> are tags.

HTML Document Structure

The fundamental structure of an HTML document is simple with the entire document bound by a pair of <HTML> and </HTML> tags. 

The HTML document should follow this general form :

 The <HEAD>....</HEAD> tags make the header, and <BODY>...</BODY> tags make the body of the HTML document.

The Basic HTML Tags 

  1. <HTML> - It makes browsers and other programs know that the document is an HTML document.
  2. <HEAD> - It contains information about the document, including its title, scripts, style, and document description.
  3. <TITLE> - It includes the document title.
  4. <BODY> - It encloses all the tags, attributes, and information displayed on the web page.
  5. Heading (<H1….H6 Tags>) - It represents different levels of heading
  6. <BR> - It inserts a line break into a text font
  7. <P> - It defines a paragraph of a text
  8. <CENTER> - It centers a section of text
  9. <FONT> - It sets the font size for text
  10. <HR> - used to break a text flow and insert a horizontal rule.
