Model answer

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create and structure content on web pages. It uses tags to define elements like headings, paragraphs, links, images, and tables.

Structure of an HTML document:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Page Title</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html> — Declares the document type (HTML5)
<html> — Root element of the page
<head> — Contains meta-information (title, charset, styles)
<title> — Sets the browser tab title
<body> — Contains visible page content
<h1> to <h6> — Heading tags
<p> — Paragraph tag
