About HTML MCQs
This set covers the building blocks every web developer learns first. Questions ask which brackets surround HTML tags, which tag displays an image, how to create a numbered list and which heading tag produces the largest text. You will also identify HTML as a markup language rather than a programming language, and recall that content not shown directly on the page, such as the title and metadata, goes in the head section. A historical question asks who created the World Wide Web. Practising with small code snippets reinforces each answer.
