Let me break it down for you:

  • <!DOCTYPE html>: This declaration defines the document type and version of HTML. It should be placed at the very beginning of your HTML document.

  • <html>: This is the root element of an HTML page.

  • <head>: Contains meta-information about the HTML document, such as the title (which appears on the browser tab).

  • <title>: Sets the title of the HTML document. This is what appears on the browser tab.

  • <body>: Contains the content of your HTML page, such as text, images, links, etc.

  • <h1> to <h6>: These are heading tags. <h1> is the largest and <h6> is the smallest. They define headings and subheadings.

  • <p>: Stands for "paragraph." It defines a paragraph of text.
