HTML, how to code HTML/xHTML markup

HTML stands for "HyperText Markup Language". It's the simple code that's used to create the structure of web pages and to describe the structure of content on pages.

HTML is very easy to learn. However, it's important to learn and follow best practice. Badly written HTML can exclude users with disabilities, make web sites less accessible to search engines, and mean your site doesn't work on some browsers.

The aim of this section is to teach you simple, basic, good HTML.

Before getting into the details of HTML itself, please get familiar with How HTML, CSS and JavaScript work together and maybe have a look at Why code by hand.
