What is HTML?
Hello folks!
How's everyone doing? How has your journey been?
I know coding sounds very difficult and it really is not easy.
Why don't we struggle and solve problems together! How does that sound to you?
So...let's talk about HTML!
What is HTML?
When I first heard of HTML, it sounded very complicated to me.
Guess what? It's not as complicated as you think!
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.
So what is HyperText Markup Language?
In simple terms, it means you communicate with browsers with some specific instructions, such as tags. So fancy!! ;)
It allows the user to create and structure sections, paragraphs, headings, and links for web pages and applications.
This is the tag format for HTML => <element> </element>
<p> stands for paragraphs.
<p> What is your name? </p>

Congratulations! You just created a simple webpage!!!
You can play around and experiment with some code on this platform jsfiddle.
HTML is not a programming language, meaning it doesn’t have the ability to create dynamic functionality.
HTML makes it possible to organize and format documents. Sounds so structured, doesn't it?
If we want to write the same thing 10 times, we need to copy and paste 10 times or you actually have to write them out.
What if you have to write 100,000,000 things over and over? I don't know about you but I would cry!
In other words, programming languages can save you time because you do not have to repeat the same thing over and over BUT, we will talk about this later!
Happy coding!
