HTML
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML is the main markup language for describing the structure of Web pages.
Description:
Hypertext is text displayed on a computer or other electronic device with references to other text that the reader can immediately access, usually by a mouse click or key press sequence.Apart from text, hypertext may contain tables, images and other presentational elements. It is an easy-to-use and flexible format to share information over the Internet.
Markup Languages use sets of markup tags to characterize text elements within a document, which gives instructions to the Web browser on how the document should appear.
HTML Gives You Ability To:
- Publish documents online with text, headings, images, lists, tables, etc.
- Accessing online information or other web resources such as images, videos or other HTML document via hyperlinks.
- Create forms to collect user input like login information, feedback, comments or conducting transactions with remote servers, etc.
- Include videos, sound clips, flash movies, applications and other HTML document directly inside an HTML document.
HTML Tags:
HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of markup tags.
These markup tags are the fundamental characteristic of HTML. Every
markup tag is composed of a keyword, surrounded by angle brackets (like
<html>).
HTML tags normally come in pairs like
<html> and </html>.
The first tag in a pair is the opening tags the second tag is the
closing tags. An opening tag and a closing tag are identical, except a
"slash" (/) after the opening angle bracket of a closing
tag, to tell the browser that the command has been completed. In between
these tags web designers can add text, tables, images, etc.
For example, a paragraph, which is represented by the
p element, would be written as:
<p>In the HTML syntax, most elements are written ...</p>
Document Overview:
All HTML document seem to be plain text files. They contain no
images,sounds, videos etc. but just plain text. However, they may
contain links to images, sounds, videos and animations.
Note:The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page.
