HTML means HyperText Markup Language.
Why HTML exists
Browsers need a standard way to understand:
- headings
- paragraphs
- images
- links
- forms
HTML tells the browser: “this is a heading”, “this is a link”, “this is an image”.
HTML is not programming
HTML does not do calculations or logic.
It only describes structure.
Simple example
Try editing the HTML below:
<h1>Shop</h1>
<p>Buy quality products.</p>
Preview
Shop
Buy quality products.
Remember
If you want design, you use CSS.
If you want action (click, fetch data), you use JavaScript.
