HTML or HyperText
Markup Language is the
main markup
language for
creating web
pages and
other information that can be displayed in a web
browser.HTML
is written in the form of HTML
elements consisting
of tags enclosed
in angle
brackets (like
<html>),
within the web page content. HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>,
although some tags represent empty
elements and so are
unpaired, for example
<img>.
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 tags, but uses the tags to
interpret the content of the page. |
