HTML is used to design standard web pages by using multiple tags and it can be used with multiple assistive languages like CSS and Javascript. In this module, you will learn about HTML tags from scratch. This module will also teach you how to code and create your own web pages using HTML in this interactive web development module for beginners.

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML)

In #key# HTML: Hypertext Markup Language #key#, we use the **`<big>` element** to increase content size between the opening and closing tags. 

The size of the text will be increased by *one level* compared to the surrounding text.

<big> text... </big>
```

This element does not take any specific attributes but supports global attributes like style, href, etc.

### Supported browsers
