HTML



Introduction Of HTML





HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a simple markup system used to create hypertext documents that are portable from one platform to another. HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are appropriate for representing information from a wide range of applications. HTML markup can represent hypertext news, mail, documentation, and hypermedia; menus of options; database query results; simple structured documents with in-lined graphics; and hypertext views of existing bodies of information.





HTML has been in use by the World-Wide Web (WWW) global information initiative since 1990. The HTML 3.0 specification provides a number of new features and is broadly backward compatible with HTML 2.0. It is defined as an application of International Standard ISO ISO8879:1986 Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). This specification will be proposed as the Internet Media Type (RFC 1590) and MIME Content Type (RFC 1521) called 

"text/HTML; version=3.0".

A simple HTML code

 <!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Page Title</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>

<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>

</html>


Uses Of Tags

  1. The <!DOCTYPE html> declaration defines that this document is an HTML5 document.
  2.  The <html> element is the root element of an HTML page
  3.  The <head>element contains meta-information about the HTML page.
  4.  The <title> element specifies a title for the HTML page (which is shown in the browser's title bar or in the page's tab).
  5.  The <body> element defines the document's body and is a container for all the visible contents, such as headings, paragraphs, images, hyperlinks, tables, lists, etc.
  6.  The <h1> element defines a large heading.
  7.  The <p> element defines a paragraph.


What is HTML Element?

An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and an end tag:

<tagname>Content goes here...</tagname>

The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:

<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

Web Browsers

The purpose of a web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML documents and display them correctly.

A browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses them to determine how to display the document:
