HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a markup language used to create web pages. It provides a standardized way to structure content on the web, allowing web browsers to interpret and display that content consistently. HTML uses a system of tags and attributes to define different elements of a web page, such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, and forms. Tags are enclosed in angle brackets (< >) and mark an element's beginning and end. Attributes provide additional information about an element and are added to the opening tag. In this lesson, we are going to see an overview of HTML.
HTML documents have a specific structure that consists of the following elements: These are just some of the basic elements of an HTML document. There are many more elements available for use in HTML, each with its own specific purpose and syntax.
Typography in HTML refers to the use of fonts, sizes, and styles to create visually appealing and readable textual content on a web page. Here in this lesson, we are going to discuss some common HTML tags used for typography.
In HTML, a section is a logical grouping of related content within a web page. It is denoted by the <section> tag and can be used to help organize and structure the content of a web page. Here are some examples of how sections can be used: Grouping of content: Sections can be used to group together related content on a web page, such as a list of articles, a group of product features, or a set of testimonials. Navigation: Sections can be used to define the different sections of a web page and create a navigation menu that allows users to easily jump between them. Accessibility: Sections can be used to improve the accessibility of a web page by providing structure and context to the content, which can be helpful for users who rely on screen readers or other assistive technologies.
In HTML, a link is a clickable element that directs the user to another web page or resource. It is denoted by the <a> tag, which stands for "anchor," and can be used to create both internal and external links.
Advanced text formatting in HTML is typically achieved through the use of CSS. Here we are going to discuss some examples of advanced text formatting that can be achieved using CSS

CSS is used to define styles for your web pages, including the design, layout, and variations in display for different devices and screen sizes. This lesson introduces you to CSS and How to include them in HTML.

CSS selectors define the pattern to select elements to which a set of CSS rules are then applied. Here in this lesson, we are going to discuss different ways of selecting HTML elements to apply a style to them.
A pseudo-class is a selector that selects elements that are in a specific state. and A CSS pseudo-element is used to style specified parts of an element. For example, it can be used to: Style the first letter, or line. In this lesson, we are going to explore different pseudo-elements and classes available in CSS.
In CSS, some styles are inherited down the HTML document tree while others are not. If multiple CSS rules conflict with one another, the most important or specific selector is the one that will apply. This is called Specificity. In CSS, style sheets cascade by order of importance. If rules in different style sheets conflict and they have the same level of specificity, the rule from the most important style sheet wins. In this lesson, we are going to explain these concepts.
The CSS box model is essentially a box that wraps around every HTML element. It consists of margins, borders, padding, and the actual content. Everything in CSS is Box. in this lesson we are going to discuss Box Model in CSS.
CSS helps you to position your HTML element. You can put any HTML element in whatever location you like. You can specify whether you want the element positioned relative to its natural position on the page or absolute based on its parent element.
The float property specifies whether an element should float to the left, right, or not at all. In this lesson, we are going to discuss the use case for float property.
The Flexible Box Layout Module makes it easier to design a flexible responsive layout structure without using float or positioning.
The CSS Grid Layout Module offers a grid-based layout system, with rows and columns, making it easier to design web pages without having to use floats and positioning.
The z-index property specifies the stack order of an element. An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
The color property in CSS is used to set the color of HTML elements. Typically, this property is used to set the background color or the font color of an element.
There are two general kinds of units used for length and size in CSS: absolute and relative.
Media query is a CSS technique introduced in CSS3. It uses the @media rule to include a block of CSS properties only if a certain condition is true.
We are going to build a simple website to apply what we have learned so far.
Typography is all about style, proportions, and spacing. Good typography is not only imperative for aesthetic appeal, but it also improves site usability when text legibility and readability concepts are applied.
Like any other programming language, CSS has functions. They can be inserted where you’d place a value, or in some cases, accompanying another value declaration. Some CSS functions even let you nest other functions within them!
CSS animations make it possible to animate transitions from one CSS style configuration to another.
