What is HTML?
First developed by Tim Berners-Lee in
1990, HTML is short for Hypertext Markup
Language. HTML is used to create
1 electronic documents (called pages) that
are displayed on the World Wide Web.

Every web page you see on the Internet is


written using one version of HTML code or
another.

………….Hyper Text: Hyper Text simply
means "Text within Text." A text has a link
within it, is a hypertext. Whenever you click
on a link which brings you to a new
webpage, you have clicked on a hypertext.
Hyper Text is a way to link two or more web
pages (HTML documents) with each other.

Markup language: A markup language is a


computer language that is used to apply
layout and formatting conventions to a text
document. Markup language makes text
more interactive and dynamic. It can turn
text into images, tables, links, etc.

………………Web Page: A web page is
a document which is commonly written
in HTML and translated by a web
browser. A web page can be identified
by entering an URL. A Web page can
3 be of the static or dynamic type. With
the help of HTML only, we can create
static web pages.

Hence, HTML is a markup language


which is used for creating attractive
web pages with the help of styling, and
which looks in a nice format on a web
browser. An HTML document is made
of many HTML tags and each HTML
tag contains different content.

Description of HTML Example
<!DOCTYPE>: It defines the document type or it
instruct the browser about the version of HTML.

<html > :This tag informs the browser that it is


an HTML document. Text between html tag
describes the web document. It is a container for 4
all other elements of HTML except
<!DOCTYPE>

<head>: It should be the first element inside the


<html> element, which contains the
metadata(information about the document). It
must be closed before the body tag opens.

<title>: As its name suggested, it is
used to add title of that HTML page
which appears at the top of the browser
window. It must be placed inside the
head tag and should close immediately.
5 (Optional)

<body> : Text between body tag


describes the body content of the page
that is visible to the end user. This tag
contains the main content of the HTML
document.

Features of HTML
1. It is a very easy and simple language. It can be easily understood and modified.
2. It is very easy to make an effective presentation with HTML because it has a lot of
formatting tags.
3. It is a markup language, so it provides a flexible way to design web pages along with the
text.
4. It facilitates programmers to add a link on the web pages (by html anchor tag), so it
enhances the interest of browsing of the user.
5. It is platform-independent because it can be displayed on any platform like Windows, Linux,
and Macintosh, etc.
6. It facilitates the programmer to add Graphics, Videos, and Sound to the web pages which
makes it more attractive and interactive.
7. HTML is a case-insensitive language, which means we can use tags either in lower-case or
upper-case.

Anatomy of an HTML element
The main parts of our element are as follows:

The opening tag: This consists of the name of


the element (in this case, p), wrapped in opening
and closing angle brackets. This states where
the element begins or starts to take effect — in
this case where the paragraph begins.
The closing tag: This is the same as the opening
7
tag, except that it includes a forward slash before
the element name. This states where the element
ends — in this case where the paragraph ends.
Failing to add a closing tag is one of the standard
beginner errors and can lead to strange results.
The content: This is the content of the element,
which in this case is just text.
The element: The opening tag, the closing tag,
and the content together comprise the element.

Attribute of an element

Attributes contain extra information about the


element that you don't want to appear in the actual
content. Here, class is the attribute name, and
editor-note is the attribute value. The class
attribute allows you to give the element an identifier
that can be used later to target the element with
8
style information and other things.
An attribute should always have the following:

• A space between it and the element name (or


the previous attribute, if the element already has
one or more attributes).
• The attribute name, followed by an equals sign.
• The attribute value, wrapped by opening and
closing quotation marks.

Building blocks of HTML
An HTML document consist of its basic building
blocks which are:
Tags: An HTML tag surrounds the content and
apply meaning to it. It is written between < and >
brackets.
Attribute: An attribute in HTML provides extra
information about the element, and it is applied
within the start tag. An HTML attribute contains
9
two fields: name & value.
Syntax
<tag name attribute_name= "
attr_value"> content </ tag name>

Elements: An HTML element is an individual


component of an HTML file. In an HTML file,
everything written within tags are termed as
HTML elements.
