What is HTML?

 HTML is a language for describing web pages.


 HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
 HTML is a markup language
 A markup language is a set of markup tags
 The tags describe document content
 HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text
 HTML documents are also called web pages
HTML Tags
 HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags
 HTML tags are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle
brackets like <html>
 HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>
 The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is
the end tag
 The end tag is written like the start tag, with a forward
slash before the tag name
 Start and end tags are also called opening tags and
closing tags

<tagname>content</tagname>
HTML Elements
 "HTML tags" and "HTML elements" are often used to
describe the same thing.
 But strictly speaking, an HTML element is everything
between the start tag and the end tag, including the
tags:

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
Web Browsers
 The purpose of a web browser (such as Google Chrome,
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML
documents and display them as web pages. The browser
does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to
interpret the content of the page:
HTML Versions
The <!DOCTYPE> Declaration
 The <!DOCTYPE> declaration helps the browser to
display a web page correctly.
 There are many different documents on the web, and a
browser can only display an HTML page 100% correctly if
it knows the HTML type and version used.

editor like:
