HTML Tutorial: A Beginner’s Guide to Creating Web Pages
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the foundation of every website on the internet. As a beginner, learning HTML can be daunting, but it’s a fundamental step towards creating web pages. This HTML tutorial will guide you through the basics of HTML, its structure, and how to use it to create web pages.
What is HTML?
HTML is a markup language that web developers use to create web pages. It provides the structure of the content, and tells the browser how to display that content. HTML is a simple language to learn, but it’s essential to understand its syntax and structure to create web pages that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Basic Structure of an HTML Document
Every HTML document starts with a doctype declaration, which tells the browser what version of HTML the document is written in. The basic structure of an HTML document consists of an opening and closing tag for the HTML element, and within that, the head and body elements.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Page Title</title> </head> <body> <h1>This is a Heading</h1> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> </body> </html> |
HTML Tags and Elements
HTML tags and elements are the building blocks of an HTML document. Tags are used to define HTML elements, and each tag has a specific purpose. HTML elements are the content inside of the tags.

Some commonly used HTML tags include:
<h1>to<h6>for headings<p>for paragraphs<a>for links<img>for images<ul>and<ol>for lists<table>for tables<form>for forms
Text Formatting
HTML provides several tags to format text. Here are some examples:
<em>to emphasize text<strong>to highlight important text<u>to underline text<s>to strike through text<sub>to subscript text<sup>to superscript text

<p>This is <em>emphasized</em> text.</p> <p>This is <strong>important</strong> text.</p> <p>This is <u>underlined</u> text.</p> <p>This is <s>struck through</s> text.</p> <p>This is <sub>subscript</sub> text and this is <sup>superscript</sup> text.</p> |
Adding Links
Links are a fundamental part of the web, and HTML provides the <a> tag to create links. The href attribute is used to specify the destination URL.

<a href="https://www.example.com">Link text goes here</a> |
Adding Images
HTML provides the <img> tag to add images to web pages. The src attribute is used to specify the image URL, and the alt attribute is used to provide alternative text for screen readers.
