HTML Notes PAGE 1

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is primarily used for creating web documents and is an extended version of SGML. It allows for the inclusion of text, colors, graphics, and hyperlinks, and is platform-independent, meaning it can be viewed on any operating system. Key components include tags that structure the document, with essential tags like <HTML>, <HEAD>, <TITLE>, and <BODY> defining the document's layout and content.
