hello-world.html
<!-- This is a COMMENT in HTML ... it doesn't appear in the browser window. I can use it to explain the parts to you -->
<!-- EXAMPLE HTML BELOW: -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!-- DOCTYPE tells the browser what version of HTML you are using. The latest spec is just 'html' -->
<!-- The most basic tag is the HTML tag. It surrounds everything except the DOCTYPE -->
<html>
<head>
<!-- The HEAD tag is where you put information about your web page. It doesn't show in the browser window -->
<title>Hello, World!</title>
<!-- Except for the TITLE tag, which shows in the tab name! -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- Another basic HTML tag, the BODY. It's where all viewable content should go -->
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<!-- The HEADING1 tag. It is a large type title! -->
</body>
</html>
<!--
When you see the tags with a slash like this: </TAGNAME> they are the "closing" tags.
All HTML tags open and close, usually with viewable content in between.
-->
<!--
That's it, that's the HTML you need to say Hello, World
See below for the version without comments
-->
