HTML HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language used to create and structure web pages.

Meaning of HTML Structure HTML structure means the basic framework or layout of a web page that shows how content is arranged using HTML tags.

<!DOCTYPE html> All HTML documents must start with a <!DOCTYPE> declaration. The declaration is not an HTML tag. It is an "information" to the browser about what document type to expect.

Why we use <!DOCTYPE html>: Tells the browser the HTML version โ€“ It informs the browser that the page is written in HTML5.

Ensures correct display โ€“ Without it, browsers may use quirks mode, which can make your page look wrong.

Helps with modern features โ€“ It allows the browser to understand and correctly display new HTMLโ€ฆ
