Starting from the beginning with HTML... Pt.1

To start in the vast world of programming, I chose to talk about HTML, as deep as it is broad as it decides to be, this due to the language itself, styles, organization, frameworks, JavaScript, etc...
But for beginners like me, I want to mention to you (or remind the experts :P) what its acronym HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, but I don't want to speak in technical language !!!
From this language you can build the skeleton of a simple web page or a powerful application or APP.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML: "HTML markup consists of several key components, including those called tags (and their attributes), character-based data types, character references and entity references."

Its tags could be, next a little example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Test page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header class="globalw">
      Header
    </header>
    <div> 
      <p>Let's start to write many things</p>
      <p>Just another paragraph!!!</p>
      <h1>Animals</h1>
       <ol>
         <li>Rabbit 🐰</li>
         <li>Dog 🐶</li>
         <li>Cow 🐮</li>
         <li>Frog 🐸</li>
         <li>Fox 🦊</li>
       </ol>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

As you can see, it is not difficult to apply, but how does it work and how can I learn? If you allow me, I would like to teach you another time ...
Although I know you can also investigate :)
Happy start in your development career
