HTML codes, also known as HTML elements or tags, are the building blocks of web pages. They are used to structure content and define the elements that appear on a webpage. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) uses a series of predefined tags to format text, embed images, create links, build tables, and more. Here are some common HTML codes (tags) and their purposes:
- Basic Structure Tags:
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Content goes here -->
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE html>: Specifies the HTML5 document type.<html>: Defines the root element of an HTML page.<head>: Contains meta-information about the document.<meta charset="UTF-8">: Specifies the character encoding for the document.<title>: Sets the title of the webpage displayed in the browser tab.<body>: Contains the visible content of the webpage.
- Text Formatting Tags:
html
