HTML Coding Tutorial: The Complete Beginner's Guide to Web Structure

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the foundational building block of the web. Every website you visit is rendered in HTML, which provides the structure and content of web pages.

Prerequisites: No prior coding experience needed! Just a text editor and a web browser.

1. What is HTML?

HTML is a markup language that defines the structure of web content. Think of it as the skeleton of a webpage.

2. Your First HTML Document

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>

3. Essential HTML Tags

Text & Headings 
<h1>Main Title</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<hr>
Formatting 
<strong>Important</strong>
<em>Emphasis</em>
<mark>Highlighted</mark>

4. Links (Images Removed)

<a href="https://example.com">Visit Example</a>
<a href="mailto:hello@example.com">Email Us</a>

<form>
  <input type="text" placeholder="Name">
