HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>

</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

</body>
</html>
- Save the file with a
.html
extension (e.g.,index.html
).
5. Open in a Web Browser:
- Double-click the saved file to open it in your default web browser.
Understanding the Code
- <!DOCTYPE html>: This declaration specifies the document type as HTML5.
- <html></html>: This is the root element of an HTML document.
- <head></head>: Contains meta-information about the webpage, like the title.
- <title></title>: Sets the title of the webpage, displayed in the browser's tab.
- <body></body>: Contains the visible content of the webpage.
- <h1></h1>: Defines a level-one heading.
- <p></p>: Defines a paragraph.
Explanation
- The

declaration is essential for modern browsers to render the page correctly. - The
head

body
section contains the visible content that users will see.
Additional Tips

- Add comments to explain your code: ``
