what is HTML?



Full form of Html is Hyper Text Markup Language; the coding syntax used to write WWW documents, which are read by browsers.In practical terms, HTML is a collection of platform-independent styles (indicated by markup tags) that define the various components of a World Wide Web document. HTML was invented by Tim Berners-Lee while at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva.HyperText Markup Language, the coding language used to create hypertext documents for the World Wide Web. In HTML, a block of text can be surrounded with tags that indicate how it should appear (for example, in bold face or italics). Also, in HTML a word, a block of text, or an image can be linked to another file on the Web. HTML files are viewed with a World Wide Web browser.In computing, HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language designed for the creation of web pages and other information viewable in a browser. HTML is used to structure information -- denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists and so on -- and can be used to define the semantics of a document.

Explanation

  • The first tag in your HTML document is <html> This tag tells your browser that this is the start of an HTML document.
  • The last tag in your document is </html>. This tag tells your browser that this is the end of the HTML document.
  • The text between the <head> tag and the <head> tag is header information. Header information is not displayed in the browser window.
  • The text between the <title> tags is the title of your document. The title is displayed in your browser's caption.
  • The text between the <body> tags is the text that will be displayed in your browser.
  • The text between the <b> and <b> tags will be displayed in a bold font.

HTM or HTML Extension?

When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension. We have used .html in our examples.

Html Editor

You can easily edit HTML files using editor like FrontPage, Claris Home Page, or Adobe PageMill instead of writing your markup tags in a plain text file.
