# HTML Tab

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to structure web pages. By using HTML elements, you tell the browser where and how to display content. ### Examples * ` Page Title `: This element tells the browser to display the "Page Title" text as the title of the web page. * `

This is a h1 header

`: This element tells the browser to display the "This is a h1 header" message as an H1 header wherever it is placed in the HTML file. * `

My first paragraph

`: This element tells the browser to display the "My first paragraph" message as a paragraph wherever it is placed in the HTML file. ### Typical HTML structure Every HTML file requires the following structure: ```html ``` ### HTML structure on the HTML Canvas widget When you use HTML elements on the HTML Canvas widget, the following tags are optional: * `` * `` * `` This means that all code placed in the HTML code editor tab is interpreted as if it were inside an HTML `` element on the widget:

Typical HTML file	Ubidots equivalent HTML inside the widget
`<html>` `<head>` `</head>` `<body>` `<h1> This is a h1 header </h1>` `<p> This is a paragraph </p>` `<p> This is another paragraph </p>` `</body>` `</html>`	`<h1> This is a h1 header </h1>` `<p> This is a paragraph </p>` `<p> This is another paragraph </p>`
