A look at HTML

Many of you may look at this post and ask .. "Well what is HTML?" well I shall answer you.
Hyper Text Mark up Language (HTML) is considered as the building blocks which build up web pages. HTML language is recognised by tags which are enclosed within angled brackets, an example would be <h1>. Most tags come in pairs, this is to signify the opening tag and closing tag, they look like <h1> </h1>. 

A simple HTML anatomy would look like this:

<!Doctype HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title> Document </title>
</head>
<body>
This is an exmaple of HTML
</body>
</html>

As you can see for every open tag there is a closed tag at the end.The <head> section is a header so that is why you would put a <title> tag inside that. The <body> tag is simply for the main bulk of information to be entered, tags such as <p> (this stands for paragraph) would be used within the <body> tags to show where each paragraph begins and ends the end of a paragraph is signified with a </p> tag.
