Introduction to HTML...

Table of contents

HTML is Hyper Text Mark-up Language and it was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991 as standard for creating web pages . It is basically used to structure content on websites ,by defining elements , tags, etc. HTML is nothing but the skeleton of webpages .

  • HTML consists of a set of tags contained within an HTML document, and the associated files typically have either a ".html" or ".htm" extension.

  • There are several versions of HTML, with HTML5 being the most recent version.

Features of HTML

  • It is platform-independent. For example, Chrome displays the same pages identically across different operating systems such as Mac, Linux, and Windows.

  • Images, videos, and audio can be added to a web page (For example - YouTube shows videos on their website)

  • HTML is a markup language and not a programming language.

  • It can be integrated with other languages like CSS, JavaScript, etc. to show interactive (or dynamic) web pages .
