    An HTML file is a Hypertext Markup Language file, which is the standard format for creating web pages. These files contain text and references to other files like images, videos, CSS, or JavaScript. HTML files can be opened and edited using any web browser or text editor.

    Creating an HTML File

    To create an HTML file, follow these steps:

    • Open a Text Editor: Use a simple text editor like Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (Mac). Avoid using word processors like Word or WordPad.

    • Write HTML Code: Start with the basic structure of an HTML document. Here is an example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
    <title>A simple HTML document</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <p>Hello World!</p>
    </body>
    </html>
    Copied!

    • Save the File: Save the file with a .html or .htm extension, for example, myfirstpage.html. Ensure the extension is specified to avoid saving it as a .txt file.

    Basic Structure of an HTML Document

    • : This declaration defines the document type and version of HTML.

    • : The root element of the HTML document.

    • : Contains meta-information about the document, such as the title.

    • : Contains the content of the document, such as text, images, links, etc.

    What are the benefits of using HTML code?

    HTML consists of a series of elements, which you use to enclose, or wrap, different parts of the content to make it appear a certain way, or act a certain way. The enclosing tags can make a word or image hyperlink to somewhere else, can italicize words, can make the font bigger or smaller, and so on.
