HTML Quick Introduction

Hello everyone,

After finally putting my things on track, I can finally concern myself about my blog. This post will be about HTML.

1. HTML IS NOT A PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE!

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. Which means it can just MARKUP. What it simply does is that it describes the structure of Web page using a markup language. You can see any web page's structure just by pressing F12 on browser or CTRL+U.

2. HTML HAS BLOCKS!

If you pressed F12 you will see something like this:


















When I put the cursor on sections you will see that some parts of the web page are highlighted.
That is because of the code you put the cursor on describes that part of the web page.


The part you see on the right bottom corner of the page describes the layout of the page. On future posts, I will explain what they mean more detailed.

3. HTML HAS TAGS!

Every HTML element is represented by tags. And all tags are surrounded by angle brackets. And tags come with pairs (with 1-2 exceptions)  like this:
<html> </html>
The first tag is the start tag and the second tag is the end tag. If there is an element that is not shown, you probably forgot one of the tag pairs.
