HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is what creates the appearances for many websites, and it can tie in with other programming languages like CSS, Javascript, Python, and more. It is one of the most commonly used programming languages, and it is mainly used for design. Some may argue that HTML is not a true programming language, because it is mainly used to control the appearance of a webpage or website instead of controlling the actions possible.
You have to use opening and closing tags to tell your webpage what to do, which normally involve brackets (< >). Most closing tags normally have a slash before the letter, like this: < p > hi! < / p >
The most basic tag is the < p > tag, because it signifies paragraphs that can be shown in your work. This tag set is shown above, though I will give another example: < p > hope you're having a good day! < / p >
For some tags, like image tags, don't require proper closing tags, and instead can just use a bracket. The code for these can look like this: < img src= [image id] >
You can even add tags mid-sentence! Links and text variations, like bold or italic text, require tags mid-sentence. Use this as an example: < p > this is how to add < strong > bold < / strong > text! < / p >
For elaboration on how to get an image id, you have to right-click on an image, which opens up a menu. In that menu, there should be an option called Copy image address/Copy image location. If you click on it, the image id will be copied, which will also allow you to paste it into the image tags.
