The term HTML stands for Hypertext markup language. Where, markup
language means a language which is not a full programming language.
Therefore, HTML doesn't have logic structure so, it is much easy to
learn. For example, it doesn't have for-loop, while-loops, select
statements, etc. or any other logical conditions involved.

Therefore, HTML doesn't have logic structure so, it is much easy to learn. For example, it doesn't have for-loop, while-loops, select statements, etc. or any other logical conditions involved. Even, the basic fundamentals of HTML are quite simple. But,, if they are combined with other languages like javascript, php, asp, vbscript, etc. which makes it look more intimidating to the untrained eye.
Due to the lack of logical structure there's no flow control in HTML. In case, you're unaware about the flow of control it's Ok! For HTML coding it's not important to know. As, it is a simple markup language, all it does is define sections of content that needs to be displayed on a web browser.
Every HTML document has three main tags. One of the most accepted standards used in a HTML document is the lowercase. Although, it can also be written with upper case tags, as well.
For instance,
<html>
<head><title>Heading</title></head>
<body>
Content of the page
</body>
</html>
All you need to remember are four tags - html, head, title, body. Keep in mind that every tag that is created needs to be closed as well. Generally, a forward slash indicate closing tags. Example: </title></head></body></html>
If you find these steps easy then practice recognizing the basic HTML tags.
