What is an HTML file?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.

It’s the skeleton of a webpage — it tells the browser what content to show and how
to structure it.

Think of it like the blueprint or the frame of a house.

What does it contain?


Tags — these are special keywords wrapped in < > that tell the browser what kind of
content is inside.

For example:

<h1> is a big heading.

<p> is a paragraph of text.

<button> is a clickable button.

How does it relate to our idle game?


We’ll use HTML to create the buttons you click and the text fields that show your
points.

Later, we’ll add JavaScript (the brain) to make the button do things, like adding
points when you click.

-
A paragraph is an element (<p>).

A heading is an element (<h1>).

A button is an element (<button>).

he language that works with HTML to control how things look (like colors, fonts,
and alignment) is called CSS — Cascading Style Sheets.

What is CSS?
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a language used to style HTML elements.

Think of it as the clothes and makeup for your webpage — it changes how things look
without changing the content itself.

With CSS, you can change:

Colors

Fonts and sizes

Spacing and alignment


Layouts and positioning

How does it work?


You write rules that tell the browser how to style certain HTML elements.

For example, you might say:

Make all <h1> headings centered and blue.

Make all paragraphs have a font size of 16px.

Where do you put CSS?


You can:

Put it inside the HTML file using a <style> tag in the <head>.

Or create a separate .css file and link it to your HTML.
