Info Hub: Introduction to HTML






                  Computers connected to the network (Internet) are either servers or clients and communicate with
                  each other through networking protocol.

                  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).
                  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 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.
                  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.
