    In this technological world, we can access all the information we require on a daily basis.
                      We can download anything, ranging from text files, images, audio to videos files, from
                      the Internet with the help of web browsers. We already know that web browsers enable a
                      computer to display webpages.

                      Have you ever wondered how webpages are created? These webpages are written in a
                      special language called HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML is
                      used worldwide to design webpages. The content of a webpage, such as its layout, images,
                      colours, and text styles, are all decided during the process of designing a website.

                                WHAT IS HTML?

                      HTML is the primary building block for creating a webpage. HTML documents are made up
                      of text content and special codes known as tags, which tell web browsers how to display
                      the content.

                      HYPERTEXT
                      HyperText refers to text that contains links to other texts or documents. When you click on

                      a hyperlink in a webpage, it takes you to another page or section.

                      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.
