HTML Introduction
What is HTML?
         
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. HTML describes the structure of a Web page and consists of a series of elements. HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content and label pieces of content such as "this is a heading", "this is a paragraph", "this is a link", etc.



Your webpage won't display correctly without the basic HTML structure. To begin, enter this code within your webpage item's message body:



Simple HTML Document:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Web Page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Website!</h1>
<p>This is my very first webpage.</p>
</body>
</html>


Where:

<!DOCTYPE html>: Declares it's an HTML5 document.
<html>: The root element of your page.
<head>: Contains information about the page (title, links to styles).
<title>: The title that appears in the browser tab.
<link>: Links to your external stylesheet file (styles.css)
<body>: Contains the visible content of the page.
<h1>: Main heading.
<p>: Paragraph of text.



IMPORTANT: Writing.Com's Webpage item will still work even without the <HTML>, <HEAD>, <BODY> and <FRAMESET> tags.
