Today we will begin our discussion on HTML, which is the de facto language for designing web pages. Although we have many other alternatives available today, HTML is still one of the most popular options when it comes to web page design. We'll start with what is HTML? What are the different things?
What is HTML?
The full form of HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language. So there are two components to this name. One is hypertext and the other is markup.
Hypertext is a type of text document where you can get links to other documents. In HTML, these types of links are allowed. In this sense, HTML is a hypertext document. HTML is a set of platform independent styles. This is called a platform independent, which means that you can view these files in any browser you want. It could be a browser, it could be Mozilla. In this sense, these styles are platform independent.These styles will define the different components of the web document. And we will actually determine how the document is displayed in the browser window.
HTML is basically a plain text document. It can be opened and edited with any simple text editor. You can use any simple text editor like Notepad. You can view and edit the HTML source file. But of course there are many high-end editors available, called what you see is what you get or WYSIWIG editors. It is a much easier to use graphical interface, where everything you type will appear on the screen in the same way it would appear in a browser window. In turn, in the text editor you will see simple text and those special commands to specify what styles will be displayed when viewed in the browser window in a certain way depending on the What kind of commands did you put there?
Now, markup, HTML is a markup language. markup language where do you have your document or text information. You can also include some special commands in the document are called tags. These tags are just some of the special formatting commands. Well, the idea is that you have some kind of document with you. You have a document and you can select some special tag that will tell you, for example, which part of the document to show in bold and so on.
The markup language functions allow you to include these types of special commands in the original HTML document. These tags essentially determine how text is displayed when viewed in a browser or how it is printed when printing is done. With these tags, you can do a number of different things. For example, you can adjust fonts in terms of font size, font styles, and font color; You can create different types of lists. You can create fonts, you can embed images, you can create tables, and you can do a lot of other things. Therefore, these HTML tags provide a very powerful function that allows you to identify a number of different things about language. So, like I told you, HTML is a markup language, it provides special formatting code.
