  HTML

   Web page is created with the help of a programming language known as HTML. HTML stands
   for HyperText Markup Language. All the code for the web page is written in an editor like
   Notepad, etc. with the help of HTML commands. The special codes used in HTML are known as
   tags. Let us start to explore the world of HTML.

   Tags

   Tags are enclosed within angle brackets (<>). The tags are closed with a slash before the tag
   name (</>). There are some tags which are not closed.

   Terms to remember

  Ÿ Tag: used to specify the regions of the HTML document, which a browser will read later. Tags

       will look like this: <tag>

  Ÿ Element: is a complete tag, having an opening <tag> and a closing </tag>.
