IBM sowed the seed for HTML in the early 1980s. Initially,it was known by the name called GML(General Mark-up Language).It was a powerful language that aimed at creating a document in which one could mark the title,headings,text,font selection and much more.In 1986,this concept got standardization by ISO and was renamed to SGML(Standard Generalized Mark-up Language).In 1989,Sir Tim Berners-Lee and his team redesigned this language and named it as HTML(Hyper Text Mark-up Language).
HTML : HTML is complete code package that allows a user to create web pages.It includes text and
Graphics.You can add links to your web pages. Hyperlinks are the Highlighted text segments
or Images that connect a page to other pages on the web.Let us analyse the word HTML.
Hyper text :Hyper Text is the text used to link various web pages.It is the text on a web page,which on
clicking opens a new web page.
Mark-up :It means highlighting the text either by underlining or displaying it in different colors,or both.
Language :It refers to the mode of communication between web pages.Html has its own syntax and rules.
Structure of HTML Document:
- The HTML document starts with<HTML>tag and ends with </HTML>tag.Each document
nt is considered to be a single page.Everything is written within these tags.If the commands are not enclosed in tags,then a web browser will assume the commands as simple text.The HTML page is divided into two sections:Header<HEAD>,and the body<BODY> - The Header is where you put information that is important about web page,but you will not able to see in your browser window.
- The <TITLE> tag has to be given within the <HEAD> tags.It contains the title of the document.The title short and less than 64 characters.The <TITLE> tag changes the text that appears on the top of your browser,but not in the actual viewing pane.
- The <HEAD> is the first element contained inside the <HTML> element.It contains no text within itself.
- The <BODY> tag contains the text which gets displayed on the web page along with the other tags and attributes.In the <BODY> tag,we use formatting elements,images,heading,list etc. to enhance the appearance of the web page.
- Every opening tag must have an ending tag.The closing tag has a forward slash(/).However,some tags have only an opening tag.
