Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choose a Text Editor:

Basic Text Editors: Notepad (Windows), TextEdit (macOS), Gedit (Linux)
Code Editors: Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, Atom, Brackets (Recommended for beginners)

2. Create a New File:

Open your chosen text editor.
Create a new, empty file.

3. Basic HTML Structure: Paste the following code into your file:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
    <p>This is my first paragraph.</p>
</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 <!DOCTYPE html> declaration is essential for modern browsers to render the page correctly.
The head section contains information about the page, which is not displayed on the page itself.
The body section contains the visible content that users will see.

Additional Tips

Use consistent indentation to make your code more readable.
Add comments to explain your code: ``
Experiment with different HTML elements and attributes to create more complex pages.

Congratulations! You've created your first HTML file.
