Introduction to HTML

The first thing we should do before making any webpage is to setup the skeleton of the page.
  1. Always write <!DOCTYPE html> on the very first line. This notifies the browser what language its reading (in this course,its HTML)
  2. Always write <html> on the very next line (this starts the HTML document) and </html> on very last line of your code (this ends the HTML document).
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
.
.
// any html code..
.
.
</html>
NOTES :

  •  The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration is not an HTML tag; it is an instruction to the web browser about the HTML version used.
  • The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration is NOT case sensitive.
  • The <!DOCTYPE html> tag does not have an end tag unlike most of the html tags.
