Brief Overview About HTML

HTML is the main markup language used to create web pages. It was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and first publicly described in 1991. HTML uses tags to provide structure and layout to web content. Tags come in pairs of opening and closing tags that can contain text, other tags, and multimedia. A web browser interprets HTML tags and displays structured web pages to users without showing the underlying HTML code. HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites and allow content like images, video, forms and interactive elements to be embedded.

Brief Overview about HTML (1)

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information that
can be displayed in a web browser.

HTML is an example of an SGML-based language.

In 1989, Berners-Lee wrote a memo proposing an Internet-based hypertext system. Berners-Lee specified HTML and
wrote the browser and server software in the last part of
1990.The first publicly available description of HTML was a
document called "HTML Tags", first mentioned on the
Internet by Berners-Lee in late 1991.
Brief Overview about HTML (2)

HTML is basically a plethora of tags. Tags can be called the root of


all commands executed in HTML. They generally come in pairs. The
first tag in a pair is the start tag, and the second tag is the end
tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). In between
these tags web designers can add text, further tags, comments and
other types of text-based content.

The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and


compose them into visible or audible web pages. The browser
does not display the HTML codings, but uses the tags to interpret
the content of the page.
Brief Overview about HTML (3)

HTML elements form the building blocks of all


websites. HTML allows images and objects to be
embedded and can be used to create interactive
forms.

It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting


structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists,
links, quotes and other items. It can embed scripts written in
languages such as JavaScript which affect the
behavior of HTML web pages.
