Hello World

This is a simple HTML page that displays the text “Hello World”. It is a tradition to start learning a new language with a Hello World program.

This will get you started on understanding and using the IDE and making sure your development environment is working fine.

It will also introduce you to the concepts of writing a web page using HTML.

<!-- First thing to learn, these lines of text are comments. Note the start and end marker, they are a bit long. These are used to explain the lines of code and are ignored by the compiler and computer when executing the code. You can type anything in comments, except the comment start and end markers. --> <!-- HTML is a display language that uses tags to indicates how the browser should interpret and display the data inside the tags. Data is enclosed within an open <> and close </> tag, with some exceptions. This page has the minimum tags and structure required for the browser to understand and display the page. --> <html> <!-- Inside the head tag you include some information about the page. --> <head> <!-- The title is what shows on your browser tab. --> <title>Hello World</title> </head> <!-- Inside the body tags you include the actual page content to be displayed. --> <body> <!-- HTML has several tags that can be used for formatting text --> <!-- The paragraph tag --> <p>Hello world!</p> <!-- The header tags for font sizes --> <h1>Hello World!</h1> <h2>Hello World!</h2> <!-- The bold and italics tags --> <strong>Hello</strong> <em>World!</em>. </body> </html>
