Assuming that you have a basic familiarity with HTML, we'll use a simple HTML5 news page as our jump-in point, and we'll convert it to AMP-HTML. Unless you are building a canonical AMP page, that is, a standalone AMP page that doesn't have a desktop counterpart, then a common task you may find yourself doing is converting a full HTML page to AMP-HTML. That's what we're going to do now.

These are the header, logo, nav menu, article title, feature image, article content, and footer. In subsequent chapters we'll refine and improve the AMP page as we go along.
The HTML behind this page is listed below...
