Some key points of HTML:

HTML is supposed to act as the skeleton of the web page.
HTML should be used according to their semantic meanings.
Styling the page should not be the purpose of HTML.

A typical example skeleton code of HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
	<meta charset="UTF-8">
	<title>example code of HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
	<h1>Hello world</h1>
</body>
</html>
#=> prints 'Hello world'.
