Hello to all. I am going to teach you the basic things of HTML step by step in a chain tutorial. I'll provide a lesson everyday. Today I am going to discuss about a few uses of HTML.
What is HTML?
An element starts with "<...>" and ends with "</...>". For example "<HTML></HTML>. HTML document basically starts this tag.
What is HTML?
Abbreviation of HyperText Markup Language, commonly referred to as HTML, is a markup language used to create web pages. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>). HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some tags represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, and the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). - Wikipedia
Why HTML?
All objects of a web-page is quite practical. When we read newspaper, we can see a huge headline and next to it the original content. Using HTML, we can also do this. When we make a piece of text a headline of page using HTML, we calls it marking up. Basically, when you visit a web-page, there you can see some bold, italic, underlined words. These words are marked by HTML and the browser interprets them visualizing in the monitor.
Like the above image we can also create a page using HTML and CSS.
We often see a list, tables, images and other things in a newspaper. Using HTML we can also give a look of our page like that. You will learn more about it in Lesson 2.
A Basic HTML Document
Here you can see HTML document. There are a few things to notice here. A HTML document consists of elements like "HTML", "HEAD", "TITLE", "BODY"....these are called HTML TAG. They are used to identify a location or text of a web-page.
An element starts with "<...>" and ends with "</...>". For example "<HTML></HTML>. HTML document basically starts this tag.
