HTML
HTML or
HyperText Markup Language is the standard markup language used to create web pages. HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of
tags enclosed in angle brackets. 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. 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 describes the structure of a website semantically along with cues for presentation, making it a markup language rather than a programming language. HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items.
