What is HTML?
-
HTML, or HyperText Markup Language supports three main functions:
- Hypertext, which means you can create a link in a Web page that leads the visitor to any other Web page or to practically anything else on the Internet.
- Universality, which means that because HTML documents are saved as Text Only files, virtually any computer can read a Web page.
- Markup language, which means that the HTML document contains Tags to create web pages and transmit important information during a request-response dialogue between included computers.
The HTML document.
- HTML documents are text file with the extension .html or .htm.
- There are many IDE tools that you can download and use to create HTML documents, but to start with a simple text editor such as Notepad provides perhaps a better understanding of the HTML coding.
- When you have created a HTML file with HTML tags and saved it to your computer's file directory, you can only doubleclick on the file to run it in your default browser.
