What Is HTML?
HTML is the language used to structure content on the web. Think of it as the skeleton of a web page. It defines headings, paragraphs, links, images, and more.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to My Website</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph of text on my first web page.</p>
</body>
</html>Key HTML Elements:
<!DOCTYPE html>: Declares the document type.<html>: The root element of the page.<head>: Contains meta information like the title.<body>: The visible content of the web page.
