🔍 What HTML Does:

HTML tells the web browser how to display content such as:

  • Text

  • Images

  • Links

  • Forms

  • Tables

  • Videos

📦 Example of HTML:

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>My First Web Page</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
  <p>This is my first HTML page.</p>
  <a href="https://www.google.com">Go to Google</a>
</body>
</html>
