When it comes to web development Many people may think of html as some computer terminology or some ancient greek word without knowing what HTML really is, some think it is just a subname given to the whole webpage creation thingy, if you are one of them i tell you today Stop that right now, html isnt a subname but it is a submemu to the web development, It's like a state in a county or a country in a continent. The full meaning of HTML is hyper text markup language and as the name implies "hyper text" it isnt just a text but a hyper one, a super text which can be reshaped into something different and into something new , these texts which makes up the hyper texts markup language are called codes and a person who writes these texts and who understand this language is called a coder.

HTML is the back bone of web pages, without your back bone you can not stand and without a good posture you can not stand upright same thing goes for HTML without a html code there will be no web page and without a well structured html code there won't be a beautiful/attractive webpage to look at.

HOW TO WRITE A HTML CODE
I was suppose to put this in a different post but i thought why not make this a suverence package.

HTML can be written on any plathform as long as you are able to save your code you write as an HTML format like this hypertext.html. As i mentioned earlier this texts are not ordinary text document, they are super that is why they need to be saved in HTML format to become super and exhibit their real ability. Let us take a look at the codes in the above image, it is a typical example of a structured html code. Let me break down each of these tags above in the html code

!DOCTYPE HTML
The !DOCTYPE declaration must be the very first thing in your HTML document, before the html tag. ... In HTML 4.01, the !DOCTYPE declaration refers to a DTD, because HTML 4.01 was based on SGML. The DTD specifies the rules for the markup language, so that the browsers render the content correctly.

HTML
Every web page begins and ends with some very important tags. They are: HTML -> tells your web browser that a page with HTML is coming up. The opening tag is always placed at the beginning of your document, and the closing tag is placed at the very end.

TITLE
A title element is required within the head element. meta , style , base , link , and script can also be used. head is required and it should be used just once. It should start immediately after the opening HTML tag and end directly before the opening body tag.

BODY
The HTML body tag is used for indicating the main content section of the HTML document.

H4
The h1 to h6 tags are used to define HTML headings.

OL

The ol element is used to create an ordered list. An ordered list is created by nesting one or more li elements between the opening and closing ol tags.

There are many more tags which can be used in your codes like P for paragraph, b for bold, i for italic, strong for strong or bold texts, e.t.c .check out my next post to see the full list of tags and their uses.
