1. What is HTML?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is the standard language for creating web pages and web applications.

2. Basic Structure of an HTML Document

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
        <title>Document Title</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
        <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    </body>
</html>

This is the basic structure of an HTML document. The <html> tag encloses the entire document, while <head> and <body> contain metadata and content, respectively.

3. Common HTML Elements

Here are some commonly used HTML tags:

<h1> to <h6> - Headings, where h1 is the most important.

Heading 1

Heading 2

And so on...

And so forth...

Right up until...

Heading 6

<p> - Paragraph, used for blocks of text.

This is an example of a paragraph! I can yap on and on and on in this tag and it'll just let me!

<a href=""> - Anchor, used to create hyperlinks.

Also check out my other site, loam.lol!

<ul> and <li> - Unordered list and list items (this whole thing!).
<ol> and <li> - Ordered list and list items.

This is the first item in an ordered list.
And this is the second one.

<strong> - Bold text.

This is a p tag with some bold text.

<em> - "Emphasized" text (usually italic).

This is a p tag with emphasis!

Some alternative tags that I don't want to write examples for are:
<img src="" alt=""> - Image, used to display images.
<table> - Table, with <tr> for rows and <td> for cells.
<form> - Form, with various input elements.
<div> - Division, a container for other elements.
<span> - Inline container for text or other elements.
