Getting Started with HTML

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the backbone of every web page. It defines the structure and content of your web documents, from simple text paragraphs to complex forms and multimedia elements.

Here's a basic example of an HTML document:

                
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>My First Web Page</title>
    <style>
        body { font-family: sans-serif; }
        h1 { color: blue; }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    <p>This is my first paragraph.</p>
    <a href="https://www.microsoft.com">Visit Microsoft</a>
</body>
</html>
                
            

Understanding tags, attributes, and the document structure is key to mastering HTML for web development.
