Introduction:
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, which is the most widely used language on Web to develop web pages. HTML was created by Berbers-Lee in late 1991 but "HTML 2.0" was the first standard HTML specification which was published in 1995. HTML 4.01 was a major version of HTML and it was published in late 1999. Though HTML 4.01 version is widely used but currently we are having HTML-5 version which is an extension to HTML 4.01, and this version was published in 2012.
Originally, HTML was developed with the intent of defining the structure of documents like headings, paragraphs, lists, and so forth to facilitate the sharing of scientific information between researchers. Now, HTML is being widely used to format web pages with the help of different tags available in HTML language.
HTML is a MUST for students and working professionals to become a great Software Engineer specially when they are working in Web Development Domain.
I will list down some of the key advantages of learning HTML:
Create Web site - You can create a website or customize an existing web template if you know HTML well.
Become a web designer - If you want to start a career as a professional web designer, HTML and CSS designing is a must skill.
Understand web - If you want to optimize your website, to boost its speed and performance, it is good to know HTML to yield best results.
Learn other languages - Once you understands the basic of HTML then other related technologies like JavaScript, PHP, or angular are become easier to understand.
HTML uses "markup" to annotate text, images, and other content for display in a Web browser. HTML markup includes special "elements" such as head, title, body, header, footer, article, section, p, div, span, img, aside, audio, canvas, datalist, details, embed, nav, output, progress, video, ul, ol, li and many others.

Step 1: Open TextEdit (Mac) Open Finder > Applications > TextEdit Also change some preferences to get the application to save files correctly.
In Preferences > Format > choose "Plain Text" Then under "Open and Save", check the box that says "Display HTML files as HTML code instead of formatted text". Then open a new document to place the code.
Step 2: Write Some HTML Write or copy the following HTML code into Notepad:
Save the file on your computer. Select File > Save as in the Notepad menu. Name the file "index.htm" and set the encoding to UTF-8 (which is the preferred encoding for HTML files).
