              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 learned the basics of HTML5. Let's recall
              HTML5 and learn more about it.


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

                               The <HEAD> tag represents the header area of the document. It contains information
               <HEAD>
                               about the document title, scripts and style definitions used in the document.

                               The <TITLE> tag represents the title of the document and is included inside the <HEAD>
               <TITLE>         tag. Title 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.

                               The <BODY> tag defines that section of the HTML document which is visible on the
               <BODY>          web browser. It contains all other tags that define the content presentation elements
                               such as images, lists, tables, text and links etc.


              The <Hn> Tag

              Every  chapter  in  a  book  has  various  headings  and  sub-headings.  These  are  known  as  levels  of
              headings. These are container tags with a start tag and an end tag. HTML can define up to 6 levels
              of headings from H1 to H6. H1 is the first level of heading and H6 is the last level of heading/sub-
              heading. Let us create a web page using heading tags.
