2.3 INTRODUCTION TO HTML
HTML is the most widely used language for developing webpages. HTML webpages are simple text files with special
“tags” that a web browser interprets and displays on your computer screen.
ÐHTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.
Ð
Ð ÐAn HTML file is a text file that contains small markup tags that instruct the web browser on how to display the page.
Ð ÐThe .htm or .html file extension is required for an HTML file.
Notes
Tim Berners-Lee initially introduced HTML tags on the Internet in late 1991, and a document named "HTML Tags"
was the first publicly available description of HTML. It outlines the 18 elements that make up HTML's initial,
rather simplistic design.
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.
HTML Tags and Attributes
Tags are the basic building blocks of an HTML document. A tag is a formatting specification that directs a web browser
how to display the information it marks up or encloses (text, picture, video, audio, and so on).
Attributes are present in the majority of tags. Attributes are tag sub-elements or features that provide additional
functionality by allowing a user to change the marked-up elements in various ways. To better understand tags and their
attributes, see the example given below:
<font color=blue size=4>
