What is HTML?
HTML Basic coding
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is a basic coding language through which we can design a front-end webpage. You can create everything needed for a webpage using this language. Developers always save HTML files with the .html extension, such as index.html. They usually name the first HTML file “index.html.” You can write basic HTML code using text editors like Notepad, which comes pre-installed on most PCs. If you want to write the code in Notepad, change the .txt file to a .html extension.
You can write HTML code in any text editor. Some popular text editors include:
- Visual Studio Code (VS Code)
- Sublime Text
- Notepad++
- Notepad
- Pycharm (actually made for Python coding)
Some text editors are designed for different programming languages but still allow writing HTML code. A fun fact is that we can also write our HTML Code in the file with the .php extension.
HTML Code is written between the “Tags“. Tags can be shortly known as the characters that make up a Web page’s formatted command. We have two types of tags. 1. Opening Tag 2. Closing Tag. Everything you want to design is coded between the opening and closing tags. The difference between these tags appears in the example below.
1/2For Instance, if you want to centralize your text, you have to write the text as below:
<center> I want to Centralize this text </center>
Opening Tag Syntax:
Less than sign > then put the command > greater than sign.
Closing Tag Syntax:
Less than sign > then put a slash (/) sign > put the command > greater than sign.
