Introduction to HTML

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>
