HTML



Befor we start with Delphi's Web development it is better to go through HTML language.

HTML language is the most frequently used language in designing HTML pages. Although
you can design internet pages using visual environments such as Microsoft Front Page
(which does not assume understanding most of HTML code), some times you need to write
HTML code manualy in some cases, for example when you need to produce HTML pages
and build CGI applications.
In this topic we will describe the main idea of HTML language.
