Hello World!

In this session, we will learn how to create a simple web page using HTML. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and is the standard language for creating web pages. It uses tags to structure content on the web page. For example, the tag is used to define a paragraph of text. Let's see how it works in practice.

TypeExampleMeaning
Start Tag<p>Marks the beginning of an element that has content.
End Tag</p>Marks the end of an element that has content.
Empty Tag<p>Marks an element that has no content. In HTML5 the syntax is the same as a start tag. In XHTML, this would be written as <p/> instead. You can use this syntax in HTML5 too if you prefer to make it obvious that this is an empty tag. This is used for elements such as img which are not allowed to contain other elements.
