Basics of HTML

HTML is the standard markup language used to define the structure and layout of web pages. It was developed by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN and uses tags to define headings, paragraphs, links, images and other page elements. The current version is HTML5, which is not case sensitive and allows features like video, audio and animations to be directly embedded into web pages. A basic HTML document structure includes elements for the document type, html, head, title, and body.
