HTML Structure
- This lesson explains the basic structure of an HTML document, including the doctype declaration, html tag, head section, and body section.
๐ What is HTML ?
โ HTML = HyperText Markup Language
HTML is the standard language used to create webpages.
It tells the web browser two very important things:๐น What content exists
โก๏ธ Text, images, videos, links, buttons, forms๐น How that content is organized
โก๏ธ Headings, paragraphs, sections, lists๐ Important Note:
๐ซ HTML does NOT handle:Design (thatโs CSS ๐จ)
Logic or interaction (thatโs JavaScript โ๏ธ)
โ HTMLโs job = Structure + Content only
๐ Breaking Down the Name: HTML
๐งฉ Letโs understand it word by word:
๐ HyperText
โก๏ธ Text that contains links
โก๏ธ Allows users to jump from one page to another๐ท๏ธ Markup
โก๏ธ Uses special tags to mark content
โก๏ธ Example: <h1>, <p>, <img>๐ Language
โก๏ธ Follows fixed rules & syntax
โจ Conclusion:
โก๏ธ Must be written correctly for browsers to understand
๐ HTML is a language that marks content using tags
๐งฑ What Does HTML Actually Do?
HTML helps the browser understand:
๐ This is a heading
๐ This is a paragraph
๐ This is an image
๐ This is a link
๐ This is a form๐ซ Without HTML:
Everything would look like plain text
No structure
No clarity
No proper webpage
โ HTML gives meaning to content
๐ง Why HTML Is So Important
โ Foundation of Every Website
Every website you visit starts with HTML
๐ Examples:
YouTube
Instagram
Amazon
โก๏ธ Even the biggest apps are built on top of HTML
โ Browsers Understand HTML
Web browsers are designed to read HTML files and display them visually.
๐ Popular browsers:
Chrome
Firefox
Safari
Edge
โ No HTML = Browser has nothing to display
โ Creates Page Structure
HTML defines:
๐ Headings
๐ Paragraphs
๐ Lists
๐ Images
๐ Forms
๐ Tables๐ง Why structure matters ?
Better user experience
Better readability
Better SEO (search engine ranking)
โ Required Before CSS & JavaScript
๐ Correct Learning Order:
๐งฑ HTML โ Structure
๐จ CSS โ Design
โ๏ธ JavaScript โ Behaviorโ Without HTML:
CSS has nothing to style
JavaScript has nothing to control
๐ฆด HTML Structure
(The Skeleton of Every Webpage)
Every HTML page follows a fixed and logical structure, just like a human skeleton.
This structure helps:
โ Browsers understand the page correctly
โจ Think of HTML structure as the blueprint of a building
โ Developers write clean & readable code
โ Search engines index pages properly
