**`HTML`** stands for hyper text markup language -- it is used to display web pages on the browser. In order to create web pages, one should learn HTML.

As its name suggests, HTML is a markup language, *not* a programming language. This means that we do not write programs using HTML; instead, **markup language** is mainly used to apply layout and formatting conventions to a text document. In other words, markup language makes text more interactive and dynamic. 

Let's dive deeper to learn more about HTML.


# HTML Tags

One of the main parts of HTML is HTML tags -- **HTML tags** are like keywords that define how a web browser will format and display content. There are more than 100 tags in HTML.

Let's see an example:

`<!DOCTYPE html>` is a tag used to tell the browser the version of html that you are using.

HTML tags contain three main parts: 
1) opening tag 
2) content 
3) closing tag

## Opening tag

* Begins the section of a page

* All opening tags are enclosed in `<>`

## Content

* The matter written in between the opening and closing tags.

* `<>` content `</>`.

## Closing tag

* It ends the section of a page.

* All closing tags are enclosed with, `</>`.

Most HTML tags are paired tags, very few tags are unpaired.

# Paired tags
**Paired tags** have both opening *and* closing tags.

Example:
```html
1) <html> </html>
2) 
3) 
4) 
```
# Unpaired tags
**Unpaired tags** have no ending or closing tags.

Example:
```html
1) 
2) <hr>
3) <img>
```
Now, let's write a code to create a webpage using some basic tags:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 <head>
 <title>FIRST WEBPAGE</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <h1>This tag is used to create headings of large size compared 
 to other heading tags.
 </h1>
 This tag is used to create paragraph
 This tag is used to make words bold without giving any 
 importance.
 
 Similar to bold tag but gives importance to it.
 </body>
</html>

And that's it -- we have created our first webpage using some basic tags!
