HTML Presentation
HTML Presentation
The HyperText Markup Language, or HTML is the standard markup language for
documents designed to be displayed in a web browser.
It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and
scripting languages such as JavaScript.
Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and
render the documents into multimedia web pages.
HTML describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included
cues for the appearance of the 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.
HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript, which
affects the behavior and content of web pages.
Inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content. The World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C), former maintainer of the HTML and current maintainer of the CSS
standards,
has encouraged the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML since 1997
DEVELOPMENT
Berners-Lee specified HTML and wrote the browser and server software in late 1990.
That year, Berners-Lee and CERN data systems engineer Robert Cailliau collaborated
on a joint request for funding, but the project was not formally adopted by CERN.
In his personal notes[4] from 1990 he listed "some of the many areas in which
hypertext is used" and put an encyclopedia first.
The first publicly available description of HTML was a document called "HTML Tags",
first mentioned on the Internet by Tim Berners-Lee in late 1991.
It describes 18 elements comprising the initial, relatively simple design of HTML.
