HTML is the mandatory and very basic part of web design. So, if someone wants to learn the HTML, normally the common question comes from the newbies that How long does it take to learn HTML?

Write HTML Using Notepad or TextEdit
HTML can be edited by using professional HTML editors like:

However, we recommend a text editor like Notepad (windows) or TextEdit (Mac).
HTML tag structure:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1>My First Heading</h1> <p>My first paragraph.</p> </body> </html>
Save the HTML Page:
Select File > Save as in the text editor menu. Save the file with .html or .htm extension.
Your new webpage will look like
HTML Documents
All HTML documents must start with a type declaration: <!DOCTYPE html>. This type indicates the html5 version.
All HTML begins with <html> and ends with </html> tag.
The visible part of the HTML document those we see in web browser is between <body> and </body>.
