                           Markup Language

                      It is a language that uses special symbols called Tags to mark up a text document and instructs the
                      browser how to display the text.

                      Some of the important features of HTML are:

                           It is a platform-independent language.
                           It allows us to build tables.
                           It allows us to add a link to the web page.

                      There are mainly two types of HTML editors named WYSIWYG editor and Text editor. Let us now
                      discuss these editors.

                      WYSIWYG Editor
                      WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. This type of editor allows the developer to

                      see what the end result will look like when the document is created. These editors provide various
                      tools and graphical interfaces where the web pages are designed. Examples of WYSIWYG editors are
                      Adobe Dreamweaver, Amaya and Google Web Designer.

                      Text Editor

                      We can create HTML documents using normal text editors like Notepad or Wordpad. The user should
                      have a proper knowledge of the HTML commands to develop a web page.

                             HTML TAGS AND ATTRIBUTES

                      As we know that HTML is a markup language. It uses tags to markup the content of the web pages.
                      These tags also have their attributes. Let us learn more about tags and attributes.

                           Tags
                      Tags are the basic building blocks of a web page. They tell the browser how the information is to be

                      displayed on the web page. Tags do not appear in the browser window but they affect the display of
                      the text and non-text items in it. Each tag in HTML follows specific rules and syntax. HTML tags are not
                      case sensitive.
