Common Structure of HTML Program
All HTML files follow a common structure. This structure is formulated by basic tags. It is mandatory to use all basic tags in every HTML file. The basic structure of HTML is being explained below.
<html>
<head>
<title> Title of your webpage </ title>
</ head>
<body>
Your text content Should be here.
</body>
</html>
Every HTML file should be start and end with <html> tag. After the HTML tag the <head> tag is define. Inside the <head> tag you define the title of the web page with <title> tag.
The webpage is displayed in the title browser above the menu bar. The <body> tag is define after the <head> tag. The main content of the webpage is written in the <body> tag.
Simple HTML Program
<html>
<head>
<title> This is a title of first webpage </ title>
</ head>
<body>
<h1> This is a main heading of first webpage </ h1>
</ body>
</ html>
In this program, only <h1> tag has been added in the <body> tag except basic tags. This tag shows text as the main heading. Write this program in your text editor.
Interpreting a HTML Program
To view any HTML program/code as a webpage. First, you have to save it with .html extension. By default in the text editor, when you save a file, it is saved with the .txt extension. So while saving the HTML file, you have to put a .html extension after its name.
Web browser interpreter interprets the HTML file as a webpage, which has an extension .html This extension lets the interpreter know that the file is an HTML file. Therefore it is mandatory to save the HTML file with the .html extension.
Web browser interpreter interprets the same file as a webpage, which has an extension .html This extension lets the interpreter know that the file is an HTML file. Therefore it is mandatory to save the HTML file with the .html extension.
As soon as you save the file with the .html extension then the interpreter will interpret your file and your file will appear with the browser icon at the saved location. The icon will display only with the default browser in your computer. This means that it is a webpage.
As soon as you open this file, the HTML page will appear.
If there is an error in your code then the HTML page will not show you. One thing you should keep in mind is that there is no error reporting feature in HTML. So if there is an error in your code then you have to find it by itself and fix it.
