HTML or HyperText Markup Language is a coding language used to create a website to be viewed via a web browser.
To begin making a website we first need to make sure we have a way to code said website a free and easy to use program that can change its native language to HTML is Notepad ++ . you can open a new text and go to language in the top menu and set it to HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
Now that we have our program lets begin coding the basics of a website.
The most simple thing to do in HTML is to code a page that says Hello world ! To do this we need to begin by creating the HTML tag.
<html>
This is what lets the website know that you are coding the website in HTML and not in PHP.
Next we will need to write the tag that will allow us to write to the website .
<p> (known as Paragraph)
<h1> ( header 1)
<h2> (Header 2)
All three of these tags will allow us to write text to be displayed on the site .
For the purpose of this tutorial we will use the <h2> tag
<html>
<h2>
This is what our code should look as of the moment now that we can write text on the site lets do so!
<h2>Hello World</h2>
We have now wrote the 2 word phrase "Hello World" on the website and ended the header 2 tag by adding a / to it. This is important as if not done elements can and will mix together (we will see examples later on) this also means that if we want it to work we need to end the tag for html </html>
Our code is now complete and will show Hello World whenever we go to the site
<html>
<h2>Hello world</h2>
</html>
