                     Some of the important features of HTML5 are:
                        It is a platform independent language.
                        It allows us to build tables.
                        It allows us to add a link on the web page.

                        It is not case sensitive language.
                        It is a very easy and simple language.
                         It provides a flexible way to design web pages along with the text.

                     Types of HTML Editor

                     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 in Text Editor.

                          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.

                     With the help of tags, a web browser can distinguish between an HTML content and a simple content.
                     In HTML document, a tag name begins with an opening angular bracket (<) and  ends with closing
                     angular bracket (>). For example,

                     HTML tags contain three main parts: opening tag, content and closing tag. But some HTML tags are
                     unclosed tags.

                                                <TagName> content </TagName>

                                                  Opening tag                    Closing tag

                                                                                          #Introduction to  HTML5 & CSS3  83
