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 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.
