UNIT I: HTML
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create and design webpages. It
consists of a series of elements (tags) that tell the browser how to display content.
- **Introduction**: HTML is the backbone of all websites and is used to structure text, images, links, and other
content.
- **Tag Basics**: Tags are enclosed in angle brackets <>. Most tags come in pairs: <tag>content</tag>.
<html>
<head>...</head>
<body>...</body>
</html>
- **Adding Comments**: Comments in HTML are added using <!-- comment here -->.
- **Text, Paragraphs & Line Breaks**: <p> for paragraphs, <br> for line breaks.
- **Emphasizing Text**: <b> (bold), <i> (italic), <u> (underline), <strong>, <em>.
- **Lists**:
- **Font Size, Face, Color**: Using the <font> tag (deprecated), better done with CSS.
- **Frames**: Used to split the browser window into multiple sections (deprecated in HTML5).
- **Graphics Introduction**: Enhances visual appeal, used for logos, icons, etc.
- **Efficient Use of Images**: Optimize file size and format (JPG, PNG, GIF).
- **Image Maps**: Clickable areas on images using <map> and <area> tags.
- **FrontPage**: A WYSIWYG tool previously used to design HTML pages without writing code manually.
- **XML (Extensible Markup Language)**: Used to store and transport data, not for display.
