Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML)

By Pinyo • Sep 6th, 2008 • Category: H

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is The authoring language used to create documents on the World Wide Web. HTML is similar to SGML, although it is not a strict subset.

HTML defines the structure and layout of a web document by using a variety of tags and attributes. The correct structure for an HTML document starts with <HTML> and ends with </HTML>. All the information you’d like to include in your web page fits in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.

There are hundreds of other tags used to format and layout the information in a web page. Tags are also used to specify hypertext links. These allow web developers to direct users to other web pages with only a click of the mouse on either an image or word(s).
