LEVEL 1 | THE ESSENTIALS

Let's start from the top. HTML, or hyper-text markup language, is the most standard and common coding language. It's what's used to provide the framework for things like websites. Any HTML document on neocities begins as such:

< !DOCTYPE html > [[Starting declaration, asserts this document as one using HTML5 coding language.]]

< html > [[A TAG that starts the actual HTML document.]]

< head > [[A TAG that contains an element of code that determines how the webpage will be displayed.]]

< meta charset = "UTF-8" > [[A TAG that determines what character set this webpage will display.]]
< meta name = "viewport" content = "width = device-width, initial-scale = 1.0" > [[A TAG that determines how the webpage appears on different screens and devices.]]
< title > Title Of Your Webpage < /title > [[A TAG that determines what will be displayed in the webpage's broswer title / search bar.]]
< style > [[LINK TO STYLE PAGE]]

< /head > [[ENDING TAG]]

< body > [[A TAG that determines what the webpage will display. All content within this element will be shown on your broswer.]]

< h1 > [[A TAG that makes the text large, used for title and headings.]]
< p > [[A TAG that encompasses a paragraph of text within it, as a distinct section from the rest of the body.]]

< /body> [[ENDING TAG]]

< /html > [[ENDING TAG]]
