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 organization 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. 3
How does it work?

HTML consists of a series of short codes typed into a text-file by the site
author — these are the tags. The text is then saved as a html file, and
viewed through a browser, like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
This browser reads the file and translates the text into a visible form,
hopefully rendering the page as the author had intended. Writing your own
HTML entails using tags correctly to create your vision. You can use
anything from a rudimentary text-editor to a powerful graphical editor to
create HTML pages.

What are the tags up to?


The tags are what separate normal text from HTML code. You might
know them as the words between the <angle-brackets>. They allow
all the cool stuff like images and tables and stuff, just by telling your
browser what to render on the page. Different tags will perform different
functions. The tags themselves don’t appear when you view your page
through a browser, but their effects do. The simplest tags do nothing more
than apply formatting to some text, like this:
<b>These words will be bold</b>, and these will not.

In the example above, the <b> tags were wrapped around some text, and
their effect will be that the contained text will be bolded when viewed
through an ordinary web browser.
If you want to see a list of a load of tags to see what’s ahead of you, look
at this tag reference. Learning the tags themselves is dealt with in the next
section of this website.
