HTML stands for hyper text markup language.
It was developed in 1990. It is a formatting language used to develop
web pages. Hyper text means that HTML marks certain words in the
document as links to other parts of the same document or other document.
When the user clicks on a link, browser starts displaying the document
attached to that link..
HTML is not a programming language.
It is used to define text, graphics, audio and videos on web pages. It
uses Tag or markup to specify how the contents of web page will be
displayed. HTML code can be written in any text editor like notepad..
HTML
is simpler than SGML. It was designed for use over the internet in the
form of Web pages; HTML is more suited for this purpose. It is used to
design and create pages for different types of users of the web..
Tags and Attributes in HTML:
HTML commands are as tags. The HTML tags are surrounded by the two characters <text>. These characters are called angle brackets. HTML tags normally come in pairs like <head> and closing with </head>. The first tag in a pair is called the start tag and the second tag is called the closing or end tag..
An element is a command that tell a browser to do something such as <H1>.
It is a fundamental component of an HTML document. Different tags
indicate different elements i.e. HEAD, TABLE etc. The text between the
start and end tags is called element content. HTML tags are not case sensitive. It means that <head> is same as <HEAD>..
Some
elements may also include some attributes. An attribute is the
additional information about the element that is includes the start tag.
Some attribute are compulsory and some are optional...
