What does HTML look like?

Here's an example of a basic web page made with HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>BlueRibbon Cattle Farms</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Charolais Cows</h1>
    <p>
       These beautiful cows are an ancient breed from France.
    </p>
  </body>
</html>

The characters contained inside the angle brackets are the HTML code!

HTML is structure, not style

When you write HTML, you are giving instructions to the browser about what the content of the page is going to be. That content can be text, images, audio files, and more.

To arrange the page and give it a particular look and feel, we use CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets. You'll learn about that in a future lesson.
