</body>
</html>
  1. First, we write <! DOCTYPE html> which we used as an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML file is written in.
  2. Secondly, the <html> tag is used to indicate the beginning of an HTML document.
  3. As above now the <head> tag is used to contain information about the web page. In this tag, a <title> tag is used which helps us to specify a webpage title.
  4. Both <head> and <title> tags are Paired tags. So, both have </head> and </title> ending tags respectively.
  5. Thirdly, the <body> tag is used to define the webpage body. All the contents to show on the website are written here.
  6. <h1> tag used to add heading here.
  7. Then create a <div> with the class “ paragraph “ . then write some paragraph into the <div>
  8. Now create a <style> tag to add CSS to a HTML file into the <head> tag.
  9. Here We added some style to the heading <h1>
  10. By selecting the <div> tag, we added some CSS (e.g.: background color, color, border, height, and weight) and we also set the “ overflow “ property to “ scroll “ to add the scrollbar.
  11. Now here we used a pseudo-element ::-webkit-scrollbar (for Chrome, opera, etc. browser). By selecting the class “ paragraph “ by .paragraph with this, we keep the “ display “ property to “none” to hide the scrollbar.
