Introduction to HTML
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is used to create document on the World Wide Web. It is simply a collection of certain key words called ‘Tags’ that are helpful in writing the document to be displayed using a browser on Internet. HTML was developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1992.

Creating a HTML document
The essential tags that are required to create a HTML document are:
<HTML>.............</HTML>
<HEAD>.............</HEAD>
<BODY>.............</BODY>
HTML Tags
Tags are instructions that are embedded directly into the text of document.Html Tags are signals to a browser that should do something other than just through text upon the screen.All HTML tags begin with an open angle bracket (<) and end with close angle bracket (>).
HTML tags can be two types:-
- Paired Tag (Container)
- Singular Tags (Empty)
Container Tags: Tags which have both the opening and closing i.e. <TAG> and </TAG> are called container tags.They hold the text and other HTML tags in between the tags. The <HTML>, <HEAD>, <TITLE> and <BODY> tags are all container tags.
Example:
<TAG> this is a container tag. It holds both the text and HTML tag </TAG>
Empty Tags: Tags, which have only opening and no ending,are called empty tags. The <HR>, which is used to draw horizontal, rule across the width of the document, and line break <BR> tags are empty tags.
