Additional Tips:
Attributes:
HTML elements often have attributes. For example, the href attribute in an anchor (<a>) tag specifies the hyperlink's destination.
Semantic Elements:
Use semantic elements like <header>, <footer>, <article>, <section>, and <nav> to add meaning to your HTML structure.
Validation:
Ensure your HTML is valid by using the W3C Markup Validation Service: W3C HTML Validator
This is a basic overview of HTML. As you dive deeper into web development, you'll explore more advanced HTML features and often combine HTML with CSS and JavaScript for creating dynamic and visually appealing websites.
