                  Computers connected to the network (Internet) are either servers or clients and communicate with
                  each other through web pages. In the previous class, you have learnt the basics of HTML5.
                      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 the same on any type of computer and
                  on any operating system, i.e., Mac, Windows, etc.
                  In the previous class, you have learned  various tags such <HTML>,  <HEAD>, <TITLE> and
                  <BODY>.
                  Let us revise some of those tags and learn about more tags of HTML.

                        Tags                                           Description
                   <HTML>            The <HTML> tag  tells the web  browser  that  the text contained  between
                                     <HTML> and </HTML> is a web page and can be viewed using a web browser.

                   <HEAD>            The <HEAD> tag represents the header area of the document. It contains
                                     information about the document title, scripts and style definitions used in the
                                     document.
                   <TITLE>           The <TITLE> tag represents the title of the document and is used inside the
                                     <HEAD> tag. It appears on the title bar of the browser window. If you do not
                                     want to give title to your web page, you can skip it.
                   <BODY>            The  <BODY>  tag  defines  that  section  of  the  HTML  document  which  is
                                     visible on the web browser. It contains all other tags that define the content
                                     presentation elements such as images, lists, tables, text and links to move
                                     between the webpages.
