HTML Introduction
HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages.
HTML consists of a series of elements which tell the browser how to display content. Each element is represented by a tag like <h1>, <p>, or <body>.

HTML Elements Explained
| Tag | What It Does |
|---|---|
<!DOCTYPE html> | Declares this is an HTML5 document |
<html> | The root element — wraps all content |
<head> | Contains meta info (title, links, etc.) |
<title> | Sets the browser tab/window title |
<body> | All visible page content goes here |
<h1> | The most important heading |
<p> | A paragraph of text |
Tip: HTML is not case-sensitive —
<P>and<p>do the same thing. However, lowercase is the modern standard.
