HTML

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.
