    MARKUP LANGUAGE
                      A markup language is a type of computer language that uses special codes to define the layout
                      and style of a webpage. It is human-readable, meaning the code is written in plain text and can

                      be understood by humans, unlike programming languages that use more complex syntax.

                                HISTORY OF HTML

                      HTML was invented in the early 1990s by Tim Berners-Lee, a scientist at CERN in Switzerland, the

                      European Laboratory for Particle Physics. The goal was to make it easier for scientists from different
                      universities to access and share each other’s research. Tim Berners-Lee also laid the foundation for
                      the World Wide Web. The latest version of HTML is HTML5, which was officially released in 2014.

                                HTML EDITOR

                      Mainly two types of HTML editors are used. These editors are WYSIWYG and Text editors.

                      WYSIWYG EDITOR

                      WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. A WYSIWYG editors allow the developer
                      to see what the end result will look like, when the document is created.
                      These editors provide various tools and graphical interfaces to design webpages. Examples of

                      WYSIWYG editors are Adobe Dreamweaver, Amaya and Google Web Designer.

                      TEXT EDITOR

                      We can create HTML documents using simple text editors like Notepad or WordPad. However, to
                      develop a webpage, the user needs to have a good understanding of HTML tags and commands.
