A bare-bones HTML page demonstrates the difference between HTML and SVG rendering. It displays a large "Hello HTML!" message using CSS styling, with a font size of 13em and centered text. The example introduces fundamental web technologies, including HTML markup, CSS for presentation, and JavaScript for interactivity, though the code itself contains no JavaScript logic. It serves as a starting point for understanding how to structure a visualization project, with a reference to a separate React Starter example for more advanced implementations.
