Overview
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language used to present information on the Web or the Internet. Tim Berners-Lee is the inventor of HTML.
HTML is not case-sensitive. For example, <HTML> is the same as <html>. HTML tags can be in lower, upper, or mixed cases.
We can use .html or the .htm file extension to save the HTML file.
The next version of HTML is XHTML, which stands for eXtensible Hyper Text Markup Language.
HyperText
HyperText is text and other digital information displayed on the screen in the HTML document. HTML documents can be easily linked with other documents using Hyperlinks.
Markup Language
A markup language is a language that uses tags to define elements in the document. HTML is an example of a markup language. It uses tags to define elements in web documents and pages. Browsers like Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox use the tags to interpret the web page’s content.
HTML Tags
HTML tags are keywords that define the elements in an HTML document. Tags are instructions embedded directly into an HTML document’s text. Each HTML tag describes that the browsers should do something. Angled brackets surround tags.
For example:
- <html>, </html>
HTML Tags come in pairs: starting tags and ending tags. They are sometimes also called opening tags and closing tags, respectively.
