| Hypertext Markup Language, short for HTML is a Computer Programming Language (Web Language) used to create web pages and other information which can be sighted in a browser on the World Wide Web (WWW). Coding helps in bringing-out the documents on the World-Wide Web which allows text to be linked to another file on the internet. By means of HyperText, you can move around on the web by clicking on a special text called hyperlinks which bring you to the next page.
HTML is used to symbolize certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists and so on and can also be exercised in use to delineate the semantics of a document. HTML is based on the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). It is a set of tags that are used to describe the content, layout and the formatting of the web document. When writing HTML, there is adding of "tags" to the text so as to construct a structure. These tags notify the browser how to display the text or graphics in the document for the user.
In short, HTML defines the structure and layout of a Web document by employing various tags and attributes. The correct structure for an HTML document starts with <HTML><HEAD> (enter here what document is about) <BODY> and ends with </BODY></HTML>. All the information which you would like to include in your Web page fits in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags. |
