HTML
How it works
- Set the page title and language, and toggle which optional tags to include.
- The generator assembles a valid, minimal HTML5 document from those choices.
- Copy the result and paste it as the starting point for a new page.
FAQ
Why include the viewport meta tag by default?
Without it, mobile browsers render the page at a fixed desktop width and scale it down, making text unreadable until a visitor zooms in manually.
Should script.js be linked with defer?
Yes — defer lets the browser download the script in the background without blocking HTML parsing, then runs it right before DOMContentLoaded, which is the right default for most pages.
Can I change the language attribute?
Yes — set it to any valid BCP 47 tag, like "en", "en-US", or "fr". Screen readers use it to choose pronunciation rules.
Does this store or send my settings anywhere?
No — the HTML is built as a plain string in your browser and never leaves the page.
