HTML is the markup language of the web. Every page you see started as HTML that the browser parsed, styled with CSS, and made interactive with JavaScript.

A minimal HTML5 page

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang='en'>
<head>
  <meta charset='UTF-8' />
  <meta name='viewport' content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1' />
  <title>My first page</title>
  <meta name='description' content='A tiny HTML5 example.' />
</head>
<body>
  <header>
    <h1>Hello, web</h1>
    <nav>
      <a href='#about'>About</a>
      <a href='#contact'>Contact</a>
    </nav>
  </header>

  <main>
    <article>
      <h2>Why HTML matters</h2>
      <p>HTML gives content structure and meaning. Browsers, screen readers, and search engines all read it.</p>
    </article>
  </main>

  <footer>
    <small>&copy; 2026 You.</small>
  </footer>
</body>
</html>
