HTML stands for hypertext markup language which is a language that powers the web. Everything you see on a website is basically structures of HTML.
You can simply think of it as a document, just like your regular word files!
An HTML page consists of an <html> tag to tell the browser that it's an HTML file, a <head> that contains metadata of the page, and a <body> tag.
If you're just starting, don't worry about the boilerplate! All you need to think about is anything inside the <body> tag. Because anything you see on the page will be inside the body tag.
In most text editor, the shortcut to build the boilerplate is ! and then press tab. But different editor may vary. You can learn more about HTML on w3schools.com/html
"But why it's so plain?" That's when CSS comes in! We'll talk a bit about it on the next post. Stay tune!
