# 🔹 What is HTML?

HTML is the language that structures the content on a web page. Think of it like the skeleton of a house — it gives shape and define

```javascript
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My First Website</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>
    <p>This is my very first web page.</p>
  </body>
</html>
```

» When you open this code in a browser, it will show:  
» A big heading: **Hello, World!**  
» A paragraph: *This is my very first web page.*

## Why Learn HTML?
