    HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages and web

    applications. Here are some key points about HTML:

    Let's delve a bit deeper into each key point about HTML:

    1. Structure: HTML provides a structured way to create content on the web. It utilizes a
    hierarchical structure where elements are nested within each other to define the layout and
    content of a web page.
    2. Elements: HTML elements are the building blocks of a web page. Each element serves a
    specific purpose, from defining headings (<h1> to <h6>) to creating paragraphs (<p>), lists (<ul>,
    <ol>, <li>), images (<img>), links (<a>), and more. By combining these elements, developers can
    create rich and dynamic web content.
    3. Tags: Tags are used to enclose elements in HTML. They consist of an opening tag (e.g.,
    <tagname>) and a closing tag (e.g., </tagname>), with the content nested in between. Tags help
    browsers understand how to interpret and display the content on a web page.
    4. Attributes: HTML elements can have attributes that provide additional information about
    the element. Attributes are added to the opening tag of an element and are used to modify the
    element's behavior or appearance. For example, the <img> element has attributes like src for
    the image source and alt for alternative text.
    5. Semantic Elements: Semantic elements in HTML5 are designed to give more meaning to
    the structure of a web page. Using semantic elements like <header>, <footer>, <article>, and <nav>
    helps improve accessibility, search engine optimization, and overall clarity of the document
    structure.
    6. Accessibility: HTML plays a key role in making web content accessible to everyone,
    including users with disabilities. Semantic elements, proper tag usage, and attributes like alt
    text for images help screen readers interpret and convey content to users who rely on
    assistive technologies.
    7. Version: HTML5 is the latest version of HTML and brought significant enhancements, such
    as new semantic elements, improved multimedia support, better forms, and enhanced APIs
    for building interactive web applications.
    8. Compatibility: HTML is supported by all major web browsers, ensuring that web pages
    created with HTML can be accessed and viewed consistently across different platforms and
    devices.
    9. Styling: While HTML defines the structure and content of a web page, CSS is used to style
    and format that content. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) allows developers to control the
    layout, colors, fonts, and overall appearance of a web page.
    10.Interactivity: By incorporating JavaScript along with HTML, developers can add interactive
    elements, dynamic behavior, and functionality to web pages. JavaScript allows for actions
    like form validation, animations, and interactive features that enhance the user experience.

    1. Basic Structure: HTML documents are composed of elements enclosed within tags. The basic
    structure of an HTML document typically includes a <!DOCTYPE> declaration, <html>, <head>,
    and <body> tags.
    2. Tags: Tags are used to define different elements within an HTML document. They are enclosed
    within angle brackets ( <>). There are two main types of tags: opening tags ( <tag>) and closing
    tags (</tag>). Some tags, like the <img> tag for images or the <br> tag for line breaks, are self-
    closing and don't require a closing tag.
    3. Attributes: Attributes provide additional information about HTML elements and are specified
    within the opening tag. They are composed of a name and a value and are typically written as
    name="value". For example, the <img> tag might include attributes like src (source) and alt
    (alternate text).
    4. Document Structure: HTML documents are structured hierarchically, with elements nested
    within other elements. This hierarchical structure is essential for defining the layout and
    organization of content on a web page.
    5. Text Formatting: HTML provides various tags for formatting text, including headings ( <h1> to
    <h6>), paragraphs ( <p>), emphasis ( <em> and <strong>), and lists ( <ul>, <ol>, and <li>).
    6. Links and Anchors: Hyperlinks are created using the <a> tag, which stands for anchor. The href
    attribute specifies the URL to which the link points. Additionally, the target attribute can be used
    to specify where the linked content should be opened (e.g., in a new window or tab).
    7. Images: Images are inserted into HTML documents using the <img> tag, with the src attribute
    specifying the image file's URL and the alt attribute providing alternative text for accessibility
    purposes.
    8. Tables: Tables are created using the <table> element, with rows defined by the <tr> tag and
    cells within each row defined by <td> (for data cells) or <th> (for header cells) tags.
    9. Forms: HTML forms allow users to input data interactively. Form elements such as text fields,
    checkboxes, radio buttons, and submit buttons are defined using various input types ( <input
    type="text"> , <input type="checkbox"> , etc.), along with the <form> element to encapsulate the
    form content.
    10. Comments: Comments in HTML are enclosed within <!-- and --> tags and are not displayed in
    the browser. They are useful for documenting code or temporarily disabling certain sections.
    11. Semantic HTML: Semantic HTML refers to using HTML elements that convey meaning about
    the content they contain. Examples include <header>, <footer>, <nav>, <article>, <section>, and
    <aside>. These elements help improve accessibility, search engine optimization (SEO), and code
    readability.
    12. Metadata: Metadata provides information about the HTML document, such as its title,
    character encoding, and viewport settings. Metadata is typically defined within the <head>
    section using elements like <title>, <meta>, and <link>.
