What is HTML?
HTML is a language for describing
web pages.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
HTML is a markup language
A markup language is a set of markup tags
The tags describe document content
HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain
text
HTML documents are also called web pages
HTML Tags
HTML markup tags are usually
called HTML tags
HTML tags are keywords (tag names)
surrounded by angle brackets like <html>
HTML tags normally come in pairs like
<b> and </b>
The first tag in a pair is the start tag,
the second tag is the end tag
The end tag is written like the start tag,
with a forward slash before the tag name
Start and end tags are also called opening
tags and closing tags
<tagname>content</tagname>
HTML Elements
"HTML tags" and
"HTML elements" are often used to describe the same thing.
But strictly speaking, an HTML
element is everything between the start tag and the end tag, including the
tags:
HTML Element:
<p>This is a
paragraph.</p>
Web Browsers
The purpose of a web browser
(such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML
documents and display them as web pages.
The browser does not display the
HTML tags, but uses the tags to determine how the content of the HTML page is
to be presented/displayed to the user:
