      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:

      1. 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.
      2. Text Formatting Tags:
        html
        <h1>Heading 1</h1>
        <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
        <strong>Strong emphasis</strong>
        <em>Italic emphasis</em>
        • <h1> to <h6>: Defines headings of different levels.
        • <p>: Defines a paragraph.
        • <strong>: Represents text with strong importance.
        • <em>: Represents emphasized text.
      3. Links and Images:
        html
        <a href="https://example.com">Link to Example</a>
        <img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of image">
        • <a>: Defines a hyperlink.
        • href="...": Specifies the URL that the link points to.
        • <img>: Embeds an image in the webpage.
        • src="...": Specifies the URL of the image.
        • alt="...": Provides alternative text for the image (important for accessibility).
      4. Lists:
        html
        <ul>
        <li>Unordered list item</li>
        <li>Another item</li>
        </ul>

        <ol>
        <li>Ordered list item</li>

        <li>Another item</li>
        </ol>
        • <ul>: Defines an unordered (bulleted) list.
        • <ol>: Defines an ordered (numbered) list.
        • <li>: Defines list items.
      5. Tables:
        html
        <table>
        <tr>
        <th>Header 1</th>
        <th>Header 2</th>
        </tr>
        <tr>
        <td>Row 1, Cell 1</td>
        <td>Row 1, Cell 2</td>
        </tr>
        </table>
        • <table>: Defines a table.
        • <tr>: Defines a row in the table.
        • <th>: Defines a header cell in the table.
        • <td>: Defines a standard cell in the table.
      6. Forms:
        html
        <form action="/submit-form" method="post">
        <label for="username">Username:</label>

        <input type="text" id="username" name="username">
        <br>
        <label for="password">Password:</label>
        <input type="password" id="password" name="password">
        <br>

        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
        </form>
        • <form>: Defines an HTML form for user input.
        • action="...": Specifies where to send the form data when submitted.
        • method="post": Specifies the HTTP method (post or get) for sending form data.
        • <label>: Defines a label for an input element.
        • <input>: Defines an input control (text, password, submit button, etc.).

      These are just a few examples of HTML tags commonly used to create and structure content on web pages. HTML is a versatile language with many more tags and attributes available.
