Understanding HTML is fundamental to mastering web development. Here, I’ll highlight the key elements of HTML that every developer should know:

HTML Key Elements

1. <html>: The root element, encapsulating all HTML content on a page.

2. <head>: Contains meta-information about the HTML document, such as its title and links to CSS files and scripts.

3. <title>: Sets the title of the web page, displayed in the browser tab.

4. <body>: The main container for all visible content, including text, images, and interactive elements.

5. <header>: Defines introductory content, typically containing navigation links and site titles.

6. <nav>: Represents a section with navigation links, facilitating user movement across the site.

7. <main>: Signifies the central content of a document, unique and essential for accessibility.

8. <section>: Organizes content into thematic groups, enhancing readability and structure.

9. <article>: Encloses independent, self-contained content such as articles, blogs, or news stories.

10. <footer>: Defines the footer for a document or section, typically containing contact info or links.

11. <div>: A versatile container for grouping and styling elements with CSS.

12. <p>: Defines paragraphs, the building blocks for text content.
