Structured Markup Language, commonly known as HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), serves as the foundational language for organizing and presenting content on the World Wide Web. As a standard markup language, HTML employs a hierarchical structure to define the elements within a web page, allowing for the seamless integration of text, multimedia, and interactive elements.
HTML documents commence with a document type declaration () to specify the HTML version being used, followed by the
element, encapsulating the entire document. Within this overarching
element, two main sections are delineated: the
section and the
section.
The section encompasses metadata that furnishes information about the document, such as the title (defined by the
element) and character set declarations. Additionally, this section can incorporate links to external stylesheets (), scripts (
), and other essential elements for optimizing the document's presentation and functionality.
Conversely, the section constitutes the core content of the HTML document. Here, the content is organized using various elements that define headings (
to
), paragraphs (
), lists (ordered
or unordered
), and individual list items (
). The structural hierarchy is further enhanced by the implementation of divisional elements such as
and
, which aid in the arrangement and styling of content.
Hyperlinks, a fundamental aspect of web navigation, are established using the
(anchor) element, enabling the creation of clickable links to other web pages, resources, or locations within the same document. Moreover, HTML supports the inclusion of images through the
element, offering a seamless integration of visual elements into the textual fabric of the document.
Forms, pivotal for user interaction, are crafted using the
, which aid in the arrangement and styling of content.
