HTML is the standard markup language for creating web pages. HTML5 is the latest version of HTML.
HTML5 is a major update to the HTML specification. The new features in HTML5 are designed to make it easy to create and view web pages that are:
Portable – Web pages can be viewed on any device, from phones to tablets to laptops.
Interactive – Web pages can include interactive elements, like maps and games.
Connected – Web pages can be connected to other web pages and websites.
Multimedia – Web pages can include images, audio, and video.
Offline – Web pages can be viewed even when there is no internet connection.
Getting started with HTML5 is easy. You don’t need to know any programming or code to create a basic web page. Just follow these simple steps:
1) Choose a text editor. A text editor is a program that allows you to create and edit text files. There are many different text editors available, both for free and for purchase. Some popular text editors include Notepad++ (Windows), TextWrangler (Mac), and Brackets (cross-platform).
2) Create a new text file and save it with a .html extension. For example, you could save your file as mypage.html. Make sure to save your file in a location that you will remember, like your Documents folder or Desktop.
3) Open your .html file in your text editor and add the following code:
This code includes the minimum amount of code needed to create a basic web page in HTML5. Let’s take a look at each line of code:
– This line tells the web browser that this is an HTML5 document.
– This indicates the beginning of an HTML document.
– This contains information about the document, like its title, author, etc.
– This indicates the end of the document head section.
– This contains the document’s actual content, like headings, paragraphs, images, etc.
– This is where you would add your own content to the page. Anything between these tags will be ignored by the web browser and will not be displayed on the page. You can delete this comment once you’ve added your own content to the page!
– This indicates the end of the document body section.
– This indicates the end of the HTML document altogether.
4) Once you’ve added your own content to the page, save your file and open it in a web browser like Chrome or Firefox
