# Getting Started with HTML

HTML stands for *HyperText Markup Language*, which serves as the **basic framework** for defining the structure and content of a web page.

First, `HyperText` refers to text that contains `links`, known as hyperlinks.

When a user clicks on these links, they can easily be directed to different web pages, images, videos, and various other content.

> Navigating content through these `hypertext links` is the fundamental principle of the Web, which connects numerous web pages together to form a network.

<br />

Another important concept, `Markup Language`, refers to the codes or tags used to define the structure of a document or data.

HTML uses these tags to specify the meaning and layout of a document.

For example, `h1` indicates the largest heading (Heading1), and `<p>` denotes a paragraph containing regular text.

Here is a simple example of HTML code.

<br />

## Example of HTML Code

```html title="Simple HTML Code"
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
    <p>Nice to meet you</p>
  </body>
</html>
```

The above HTML code is made up of elements, such as `<html>` and `<head>`, enclosed by angle brackets `(<, >)`.

What are these elements, and how do they function in HTML? We'll explore this together in the next lesson 👨🏻‍💻

<br />

## Practice

Follow along by typing the parts of the code emphasized with asterisks.

### The tag for representing a paragraph in HTML is `<paragraph>`.
