WEB DESIGNING Using HTML

WEB DESIGNING Using HTML

What is HTML? HTML is a language for describing web pages. • HTML stands forHyperTextMarkupLanguage • HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language • A markup language is a set of markup tags • HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages
HTML Tags HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags
• HTML tags are keywords 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
• Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags

HTML Documents = Web Pages
• HTML documents describe web pages
• HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text
• HTML documents are also called web pages
The purpose of a web browser (like Internet Explorer or Firefox) is to read HTML
documents and display them as web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags,
but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page:
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>

HTM or HTML Extension?
When you save an HTML file, you can use e ither the .htm or the .html extension. We
use .htm in our examples. It is a habit from the past, when the software only allowed
three letters in file extensions.
With new software it is perfectly safe to use .html
