Basic HTML Guide

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is a markup language used for creating websites. HTML can be used to do a wide variety of things, but this guide will focus on the basics of the language.

Tags

There are start tags, also called opening tags, and end tags, which are also called closing tags. They tell the web browser what to do with the text between the two tags. An opening tag is made up of letters, numbers, or words between angle brackets: < >. Closing tags are the same, but with a forward slash after the first bracket. < / >

Here are some useful tags.
