What is html ?

  • HyperText Markup Language
    HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content.

  • "Hypertext" refers to links that connect web pages to one another, either within a single website or between websites. Links are a fundamental aspect of the Web.

  • HTML uses "markup" to annotate text, images, and other content for display in a Web browser. HTML markup includes special "elements" such as

<head>, <title>, <body>, <header>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode


and many others.

  • An HTML element is set off from other text in a document by "tags", which consist of the element name surrounded by < and >. The name of an element inside a tag is case-insensitive. That is, it can be written in uppercase, lowercase, or a mixture. For example, the

    tag can be written as , .

  • HTML is a markup language consisting of a series of elements used to wrap (or enclose) text content to define its structure and cause it to behave in a certain way.
