Introduction HTML?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, but don’t let that complex-sounding name scare you. It’s simply a set of instructions that tells your web browser how to display content on a web page. Think of it as the blueprint for building a house.

<html>
  <head>
    <title>My First Web Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome to My Website!</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph of text.</p>
    <img decoding="async" src="my-image.jpg" alt="An image">
    <a href="https://www.example.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Click here to visit Example.com</a>
  </body>
</html>
