What is a HTML?

**sweet gal** · 01-05-2011, 04:03 AM

HTML or HypertText Markup Language provides a more structured document by using structural semantics for headings, paragraphs and others. How do they do it? Thanks.

HTML provides more structural documents as you can create headings by using these tags: <H1> </H1> Same goes for H2 and H3 headings. Similarly , you can create paraghraps by using <P> </P> or by giving a line break between the lines <BR> </BR> .

In the same way, you can do HTML Formatting ,Styles, Links ,Images ,Tables ,Lists ,Forms, Frames, Colors and alot more.

HTML is a computer language devised to allow website creation. These websites can then be viewed by anyone else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to learn, with the basics being accessible to most people in one sitting; and quite powerful in what it allows you to create.

The definition of HTML is HyperText Markup Language.

HyperText is the method by which you move around on the web — by clicking on special text called hyperlinks which bring you to the next page. The fact that it ishyper just means it is not linear — i.e. you can go to any place on the Internet whenever you want by clicking on links — there is no set order to do things in.
Markup is what HTML tags do to the text inside them. They mark it as a certain type of text (italicised text, for example).
HTML is a Language, as it has code-words and syntax like any other language.

I advice you that go to w3schools.com and learn HTML, you will know how it works. It’s a very vast term so that one can not describe it here in some words.

HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. A markup language is a set of markup tags, and HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages.
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 normally come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags).
The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into visual 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 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. It can embed scripts in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML webpages.
Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both the HTML and the CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over explicitly presentational HTML markup

Hello,

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is an application of the Standard Generalized Markup Language, which is the International Standard for text markup. The principle is that text markup concentrates on Structure rather than appearance, making the files more reuseable and leaving the visual details to the end-user software.

I hope you got your answer. If you any other question then please let me know on this forum, i will be happy to give you answer as per my knowledge.

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. I think a markup language is a set of markup tags. And you can create your own Web site with the help of HTML

Thanks

Hello Friends,

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the set of markup symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for display on a World Wide Web browser page. The markup tells the Web browser how to display a Web page's words and images for the user. Each individual markup code is referred to as an element (but many people also refer to it as a tag). Some elements come in pairs that indicate when some display effect is to begin and when it is to end.

Thanks

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. In a nutshell html is the code behind the majority of websites. It is the standard rendering language that is used by every browser. The standardization is constantly evolving under the direction of the W3C whose job it is to maintain it. Variations are also used in forums, blogs and other websites.

HTML is a Computer language to create web documents, provides instructions that tell the browser how to display the web pages.

We can say HTML is the "mother tongue" of your browser.
