What is HTML?

HTML is a computer language devised to allow website creation. These websites can then be viewed by anyone
else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to learn, with the basics being accessible to most people in
one sitting; and quite powerful in what it allows you to create. It is constantly undergoing revision and evolution
to meet the demands and requirements of the growing Internet audience under the direction of the » W3C, the
organisation charged with designing and maintaining the language.

The definition of HTML is HyperText Markup Language.

 HyperText is the method by which you move around on the web — by clicking on special text
called hyperlinks which bring you to the next page. The fact that it is hyper just means it is not linear —
i.e. you can go to any place on the Internet whenever you want by clicking on links — there is no set
order to do things in.
 Markup is what HTML tags do to the text inside them. They mark it as a certain type of text
(italicised text, for example).
 HTML is a Language, as it has code-words and syntax like any other language.

 document.
 HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. With HTML
constructs, images and other objects, such as interactive forms,may be embedded into
the rendered page. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting
structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other
items. HTML elements are delineated by tags, written using angle brackets. Tags such
as <img /> and <input /> introduce content into the page directly. Others such
as <p>...</p> surround and provide information about document text and may include
other tags as sub-elements. Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to
interpret the content of the page.
 HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript which
affect the behavior and content of web pages. Inclusion of CSS defines the look and
layout of content. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), maintainer of both the HTML
and the CSS standards, has encouraged the use of CSS over explicit presentational
HTML since 1997

What are the uses of html?


What is HTML and why do we use it?
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for creating
web pages and web applications. With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and
JavaScript it forms a triad of cornerstone technologies for the World Wide Web. ...
Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to interpret the content of the
page.
Learn HTML. HTML is the acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a form of
programming language that is used to make web pages on the internet viewable. So it can
be said that it is because of HTML that web pages are interesting to look at, but
the importance of HTML is often taken for granted.
What Is HTML Used For?

HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is used to create web pages. Site authors
use HTML to format text as titles and headings, to arrange graphics on a webpage,
to link to different pages within a website, and to link to different websites.

How HTML is used to Create a Web Document

HTML is a set of codes that a website author inserts into a plain text file to format
the content. The author inserts HTML tags, or commands, before and after words
or phrases to indicate their format and location on the page. HTML tags are also
used to add tables, lists, images, music, and other elements to a webpage.

Web documents contain three main sections: the head, title, and body. The head
includes the webpage’s identifying information, including the website’s title and
important keywords. The viewer sees the site’s title, but any other information is
hidden. The site’s title appears in the browser’s tab and is what appears when a
user tries to bookmark a site. The body section is the main portion of the webpage
visible to the viewer, including the text and graphics. HTML tags are also used in
two additional ways that are not visible to the viewer: as meta tags and comments.
Meta tags indicate keywords associated with the webpage to search engines.
Comments are intended as explanation or additional information for other writers
or readers of HTML code.

Website authors do not need to write HTML code themselves to create a webpage.
Using an HTML editor, site authors design web documents while the program
writes the HTML code. A WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) HTML
editor is a software program with an interface similar to a word processing
program that site authors use to write and format text and position graphics as they
will appear on the webpage.

How HTML is used to Navigate the Internet

Hypertext is text that references other web pages or text and that, when clicked on,
allows the user to access the referenced text or webpage. HTML is used to embed
hyperlinks within web pages. Hyperlinks allow the user to move easily within web
pages and between websites stored on different servers.
