HTML is the Skeleton of Every Web Page
The backbone of all web content.
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages. It uses tags to structure content like headings, paragraphs, links, and images. Think of HTML as the skeleton of a webpage — it defines the bones, while CSS and JavaScript add style and behavior.
↳ HTML provides the fundamental structure for all web content.
📖 Definition
What is an HTML Tag?
The building blocks of HTML.
An HTML tag is a keyword surrounded by angle brackets, like `<p>` for paragraph. Tags usually come in pairs: an opening tag `<p>` and a closing tag `</p>`. The content between them is what the tag affects.
↳ Tags define the structure and meaning of content on a webpage.

Anatomy of an HTML Element
Opening tag, content, closing tag.
An HTML element consists of an opening tag, the content, and a closing tag. Some elements are empty, like `<br>` (line break), and don't have a closing tag. Attributes can be added to the opening tag to provide extra information.
↳ Elements are the core units of HTML, with tags and content working together.
