What is HTML?

HTML stands for “Hyper Text Markup Language”, it is a kind of language that helps in conveying the browser about each part of the website.

[{"selector":"#anim-d3ff0f5e-eb65-4878-b920-3b5c474ddba7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-86806146-8b2d-4b19-9c86-9c3f30eb6090","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-06b39889-f4cb-48f2-adf9-e568f96400ee","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-109.16905%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is Technically termed as describing the meaning and structure of web content.

[{"selector":"#anim-15284f4d-7efa-4e4d-9cb9-4722cda7da94 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6c4bd18e-4e04-4d5f-970c-daa416d4848d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d8d942cc-edc4-46ed-b48f-19d65f5899a4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-109.66767%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It starts with the start tag <html> and then follows with a few tags like <head>, <body>, <title> and ends with the end tag </html>.

[{"selector":"#anim-39fc5738-f088-4de2-a5a7-c9aba1997379 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5a1a9676-ec19-490c-8815-64d35fa83331","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e341fd1f-356a-4183-92c2-4b70e05bed7b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-109.11681%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is one of the easiest front-end programming languages and it is very easy to learn and implement.

[{"selector":"#anim-d2a5eb28-6ac9-4bb3-8518-57f5d3d4861b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e2a4c77b-c92f-45ef-b870-52bb5f8bdc15","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1df6c320-6e1b-4d08-8629-925954c15b08","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.88252%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It takes 1-2 weeks to learn the basics and then you can start implementing immediately.

[{"selector":"#anim-33c4d26e-759c-4a8d-b6e2-94cba73e8a1f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-421f7891-b6e5-4b98-a7f9-fabecc847e8b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b3b10e2b-e636-498f-979e-847fbb0553e4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.88252%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is helpful in creating the own website as it is not the programming language it is the markup language.

[{"selector":"#anim-eb1d3185-d88c-425e-a8ab-ae9fb238338d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-27b146fa-9ea1-4a90-b34c-18edbb69706e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66ce00d8-125e-4fb8-a5d9-f83106b0ea30","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-109.30931%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The major 4 basic tags required when using HTML are html, head, title and body.

[{"selector":"#anim-0b845b19-e064-404e-ad5a-87656c8b8d47 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ac78abd0-935b-461d-8266-d2087c1642fd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e53f8bc3-7ac0-49b1-b961-9a91faf86eac","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.98551%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

HTML is user-friendly, platform-independent and also it has offline capabilities.

[{"selector":"#anim-26e39a0d-52c6-426a-88b7-2154e6ef377c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-00303cc8-03bd-40e6-8e31-437d7ab075c8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da8df748-cb83-4b15-bb47-2d629e85b7f2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.98551%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

It is a text-based platform, it guides the browser in what way the images and texts have to be displayed.

[{"selector":"#anim-3a1f1379-5b38-45a1-a121-4d26f549b3cd [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e7ad2e25-6691-438e-8eee-e0e34e8e26d6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-706b632e-7221-4c99-bece-3aec37f5b525","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.93372%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

You can learn HTML by using simple text editors like Notepad or TextEdit for Mac.

[{"selector":"#anim-4cf76ac0-b21b-4853-8ad8-284735698981 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a83d914d-207a-47ff-b181-e73d1ea2b087","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c87ba022-b0f7-462e-85f1-4fce9d0d7256","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-108.78187%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more
