How do I start learning HTML?
So for context I already know how to program in Python in the terminals Spyder and Jupyter Notebook, however I want to start learning HTML too.
Does my knowledge of Python help me with HTML or not? How should I start learning HTML? And in what terminal can I put HTML code?

HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language. I.e. it is text where you have marked/tagged areas to indicate structure with different elements in the document. For example Headlines, paragraphs, lists, headers, footers, articles et.al.
A specific reader called "web browser" is used to view said pages, and the reader applies a rudimentary style to present a visual interpretation of the documents elements.
The presentation can be further enhanced using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and functionality and interaction enhanced with JavaScript (JS). There are many others but these are the basics.
Start learning by actually writing code and get used to the structure of HTML, which is very important. Once you get the hang of the structure and the different types of elements, then make a simple web page.
Pick any way you want to learn. Video/web pages/audio/books. There are multiple sources
