Html tutorial (2)



HTML

HTML is a format that tells a computer how to display a web page. The documents themselves are plain text files with special "tags" or codes that a web browser uses to interpret and display information on your computer screen. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It’s the primary language that’s used to create web pages, so you’ll come to know it very well through the course of this book.

Introduction To HTML


     ·        An HTML file is a text file containing small markup tags
     ·        The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page
     ·        An HTML file must have an htm or html file extension

HTML was created by Berners-Lee in late 1991 but "HTML 2.0" was the first standard HTML specification which was published in 1995. HTML 4.01 was a major version of HTML and it was published in late 1999. Though HTML 4.01 version is widely used but currently we are having HTML-5 version which is an extension to HTML 4.01, and this version was published in 2012.

Originally, HTML was developed with the intent of defining the structure of Documents like headings, paragraphs, lists, and so forth to facilitate the sharing of scientific information between researchers. Now, HTML is being widely used to format web pages with the help of different tags available in HTML language.

<html>

</body>
</html>
