HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is the basic language that is used to create web pages and websites. It defines the basic structure of the webpage and tells the browser where to keep those particular elements like Images, Videos, and text on the screen. It is one of the most useful language in today’s world.
As there are so many tags in HTML and it’s very important to use proper tags to make the best structure of the website because the wrong structure of your website may break and will also make it difficult for google to search. So we need a HTML cheatsheet in which all the tags are available and it also makes developer work easier.
