how does a HTMl function? What the characteristic and examples of HTML?

html is a language which is read by browsers to make text and images and other things show up. It is set up as a parent-child structure, and your basic outline is:

html
.....head
..........title
..........css
.....body
..........images
..........text
..........buttons

All html is made using tags, which start with "<" and end with ">". So you can make a html tag like:

<html>

and a body tag:

<body>

everything that comes after a tag is said to be a child (until you hit the end tag, which starts with "</")

so you can create the most basic html document like this:

<html>
<body>
Hello, world!
</body>
</html>

Here there is a html element as the top level parent, a body element nested inside, and "Hello, world!" text inside of the body.

An example of markup on the text -- you can make the text large and bold by making it a header:

<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</body>
</html>
now, there is a "h1" element that is inside of body, and the text inside of the "h1" element. the "h1" is seen by the browser, so it makes the text large and bold when it is printed to the screen.

I hope that answers your question ;)
