Short for hyperteXt mark Up language and is a language used to create electronic documents
especially pages on the world wide web (WWW) that contain connections called hyperlinks to other pages. 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 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. HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objectsto be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to createstructured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items.
