HTML tags are used to specify that a document is html for example, every HTML document must start with <html> and end with </html>, <> defines an opening tag and < /> a closing tag

To start html coding, you require a text editor eg notepad++ and a browser eg Google chrome, you can download them below

To setup a new webpage on your computer, open notepad++ or any other code editor, create a new file and save it on your desktop or any other directory as firstwebpage.html, the html extension is required as it defines the file as an HTML document, once saved you can start editing the file on notepad
