    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 video 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 web pages are created? These web pages are written in a special
                      language called HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language. HTML is used worldwide to
                      design web pages. 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 web page. 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.
