HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HyperText represents links used to connect to different pages while Markup Langauge represents HTML <tags>.
Now I already know a lot about HTML, but I’m gonna take my time refreshing my memory about it. Whenever I start a new HTML file, I use a boilerplate which gives me a basic structure of an HTML document on VS-Code using the ! + tab. Save the filename as index.html.
An example of an HTML boilerplate:
<!DOCTYPE html> <!--tells the browser which HTML version your using-->
<html lang="en"> <!--lang for langauge, en for english-->
<head> <!--info about the website-->
<meta charset="UTF-8"> <!--characters-->
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
