Introduction to HTML

Basic Introduction
"If you want to elaborate on HTML to a 10-year-old toddler, how would you like to express it? Do you prefer to elaborate through stories or to make the toddler imagine a box that comprises many wishes? To keep that box open, you should speak a secret language that the box understands, and that language is called HTML."

Dear Magical Box,

Please put a picture of a dog in the box."

But you can't just say it like that! The magical box only understands HTML. So you need to speak its language:

"<img src="dog.jpg" alt="A cute dog picture">"

In this magical language, "<img>" means "put a picture here," "src" means "the picture comes from this place," and "alt" means "if the picture can't be shown, describe it like this."

So, HTML is like a secret code you use to tell the magical box what to show. It's a fun way to make all sorts of cool stuff appear on your computer screen!

HTML Abbreviation
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. Here's a breakdown of each part:

• HyperText: Refers to text that contains links to other texts or documents. When you click on a link in a webpage, you're navigating to a new document or webpage. This interconnectedness is what makes the web "hyper."

• Markup: Refers to the process of annotating text to give it structure and meaning. In HTML, markup is achieved using tags, which are special codes enclosed in angle brackets (< >) that define how the content should be displayed or structured.

• Language: Indicates that HTML is a language used to create webpages. It's not a programming language like JavaScript or Python; instead, it's a markup language used for structuring and presenting content on the web.
