What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the code that structures content on the web. It tells browsers how to display text, images, links and headings. 

How does it work?

You wrap content in tags like <H1> for headings, <p> for paragraphs, and <a> for links. 

Why does it matter?

Without HTML, browsers wouldn’t know how to show your site. Search engines also rely on it to read your content and understand your site’s structure. 

Extra tip:

Think of HTML as the skeleton of your website, CSS and JavaScript are the muscles and the skin.
