                        Guess my name.
                        a.  I am the first page of any website.

                        b.  I am a collection of web pages.

                  Computers connected to the network (Internet) are either servers or clients and communicate with each

                  other through networking protocol. The clients send requests to the servers and the servers respond
                  immediately with the required data.

                  The server stores the files and information in the form of websites. A website is a collection of web
                  pages. A web page is a document that contains text, graphics, videos, audios and links to other pages.
                  Every web page of a website has a unique address called Uniform Resource Locator (URL). We can use
                  this URL to access any web page from anywhere in the world. Have you ever wondered how these web
                  pages are created? HTML is the most widely used language to design web pages.

                       HTML

                  HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is a markup language that describes the structure
                  of the web page. It consists of a series of elements and allows us to create web pages that contain
                  paragraphs, headings, links and block quotes. The output of HTML web pages is same on any type of
                  computer and on any operating system, e.g., Mac, Windows, etc. The latest version of HTML is HTML5
                  which was released in 2008.

                           Factbot

                    HTML was created by Tim Berners-Lee in early 1990s but was not officially released. It was published in 1995
                    as HTML 2.0. It is a subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).

                  Hypertext

                  Hypertext is a piece of text that has special feature of linking to other documents or web pages.

                  Markup Language

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