Hyper Text Markup Language

Short for Hyper Text Markup Language, 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 enter here what document is about and ends with . All the information you'd like to include in your Web page fits in between the and 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 words. For a more complete list of tags, check out some of the URLs below.

 It was specially designed to deliver rich content without the need for additional Plugins. The current version delivers everything from animation to graphics, music to movies, and can also be used to build complicated web applications.HTML is also cross-platform. It is designed to work whether you are using a PC, or a Tablet, a Smartphone, or a Smart TV.

The primary thing to keep in mind, the super magic key, is that HTML is used for meaning and CSS is used for presentation. HTML is nothing more than fancy structured content and the visual formatting of that content will come later when we tackle CSS. You might find different approaches elsewhere on the web but HTML Dog focuses on best practice from the outset and getting into the frame of mind of doing things the right way from the start will lead to much better results in the end.

People often think it is extremely difficult to make a website. That is not the case, everyone can learn how to make a website. And if you read on, you will have made one in just one hour.

Others believe - just as mistakenly - that expensive and advanced software is needed to make websites. It is true that there are lots of different programs that claim they can create a website for you. Some come closer than others. But if you want it done right, you must do it yourself. Fortunately, it is simple and free and you already have all the software you need.

The aim of this tutorial is to give you an easy, yet thorough and correct introduction to how to make websites. The tutorial starts from scratch and requires absolutely no prior knowledge of programming.

The tutorial cannot show you everything. So some engagement and a will to experiment are required. But don't worry - learning how to make websites is a lot of fun and gives a tremendous amount of satisfaction when you get it right.

How you choose to use the tutorial is up to you. But we suggest you read only two or three lessons a day and take time to experiment with the new things you learn in each lesson.

This is Primer 1 in a series of seven that will calmly introduce you to the very basics of HyperText Mark-up Language. I suggest you take the Primers one at a time over seven days. By the end of the week, you will easily know enough to create your own HTML home page.

I say that because many people scoff at the notion that they can actually learn this new Internet format. I'm still amazed that the best-selling line of computer books calls its readers Dummies. And people seem to revel in that title. Some of the smartest people I know love to proclaim themselves Dummies regarding every aspect of computers. Strange I think you will do a whole lot better at your next cocktail party by handing out your home page address rather than laughing about how dumb you are about the Internet. 

Web Page:

          A web page or webpage is a web document that is suitable for the World Wide Web and the web browser. A web browser displays a web page on a monitor or mobile device. The web page is what displays, but the term also refers to a computer file, usually written in HTML or comparable markup language, whose main distinction is to provide hypertext that will navigate to other web pages via links. Web browsers coordinate web resources centered around the written web page, such as style sheets, scripts and images, to present the web page. 

        On a network, a web browser can retrieve a web page from a remote web server. On a higher level, the web server may restrict access to only a private network such as a corporate intranet or it provide access to the World Wide Web. On a lower level, the web browser uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol to make such requests.

        A static web page is delivered exactly as stored, as web content in the web server's file system, while a dynamic web page is generated by a web application that is driven by server-side software or client-side scripting. Dynamic web pages help the browser to enhance the web page through user input to the server.

First web page

For the beginning copy next HTML cod in notepad. Assure that the operation is right executed or the page will not function.

My First Web Page!

Thee upper code, is all you need to create a simple web page. Now you can save the document in notepad selecting from File menu the Save As option. In the new opened window, select All Files. We will give a name to the file, for example index.html, without using the quotation marks. Check twice before you push the Save button. I will ask you to try to remember where you have saved the file because we will work with this file a bit later.

Creation

 To create a web page, a text editor or a specialized HTML editor is needed. In order to upload the created web page to a web server, traditionally an FTP client is needed.

The design of a web page is highly personal. A design can be made according to one's own preference, or a premade web template can be used. Web templates let web page designers edit the content of a web page without having to worry about the overall aesthetics. Many people publish their own web pages using products like Tripod, or Angel fire. These web publishing tools offer free page creation and hosting up to a certain size limit. Other ways of making a web page is to download specialized software, like a Wiki, CMS, or forum. These options allow for quick and easy creation of a web page which is typically dynamic.

Browser

A web browser can have a Graphical User Interface, like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Chrome and Opera, or can be text-based, like Lynx or Links.

Web users with disabilities often use assistive technologies and adaptive strategies to access web pages. Users may be color-blind, may or may not want to use a mouse perhaps due to repetitive stress injury or motor-neuron problems, may be deaf and require audio to be captioned, may be blind and using a screen reader or braille display, may need screen magnification,

Disabled and able-bodied users may disable the download and viewing of images and other media, to save time, network bandwidth or merely to simplify their browsing experience. Users of mobile devices often have restricted displays and bandwidth. Anyone may prefer not to use the fonts, font sizes, styles and color schemes selected by the web page designer and may apply their own CSS styling to the page. The World Wide Web Consortium and Web Accessibility Initiative recommend that all web pages should be designed with all of these options in mind.

Web Browsers

The purpose of a web browser such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari is to read HTML documents and display them as web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to determine how the content of the HTML page is to be presented displayed to the user,

Saving

While one is viewing a web page, a copy of it is saved locally; this is what is being viewed. Depending on the browser settings, this copy may be deleted at any time, or stored indefinitely, sometimes without the user realizing it. Most GUI browsers provide options for saving a web page more permanently. These may include,

Save the rendered text without formatting or images, with hyperlinks reduced to plain text

Save the HTML as it was served Overall structure preserved, but some links may be broken

Save the HTML with relative links changed to absolute ones so that hyperlinks are preserved

Save the entire web page all images and other resources including style sheets and scripts are downloaded and saved in a new folder alongside the HTML, with links to them altered to refer to the local copies. Other relative links changed to absolute

Save the HTML as well as all images and other resources into a single MHTML file. This is supported by Internet Explorer and Opera. Other browsers may support this if a suitable plugin has been installed.

        Most operating systems allow applications such as web browsers not only to print the currently viewed web page to a printer, but optionally to print to a file that can be viewed or printed later. Some web pages are designed, for example by use of CSS, so that hyperlinks, menus and other navigation items, which will be useless on paper, are rendered into print with this in mind. Sometimes, the destination addresses of hyperlinks may be shown explicitly, either within the body of the page or listed at the end of the printed version. Web page designers may specify in CSS that non-functional menus, navigational blocks and other items may simply be absent from the printed version.

 Definition

Standard text based computer language for creating electronic documents for the web or offline uses. Being a markup language, the value of HTML lies not so much in designing a visual structure fonts, line spacing, layout, of an electronic document but in formulating its logical structure. The logical structure permits intelligent information processing that is a prerequisite for the information's organization, indexation, communication, and discovery on the web. HTML supports inclusion of audio, video, and animation into an electronic document through helper software such as ActiveX, Java applets, Quick-Time. See also Extensible Markup Language. Abbreviated HTML.

             This is the language that Web pages are written in. If you want to create really great Web pages then you will need to learn this. As far as computer languages go this is the easiest to learn. You can create a Web page without it using a Web page editing program but the program will still use HTML to create the page.

What is HTML:

H-T-M-L are initials that stand for HyperText Markup Language (computer people love initials and acronyms -- you'll be talking acronyms ASAP). Let me break it down for you

Hyper is the opposite of linear. It used to be that computer programs had to move in a linear fashion. This before this, this before this, and so on. HTML does not hold to that pattern and allows the person viewing the World Wide Web page to go anywhere, any time they want.

Text is what you will use. Real, honest to goodness English letters.

Mark up is what you will do. You will write in plain English and then mark up what you wrote. More to come on that in the next Primer. 

Language because they needed something that started with L to finish HTML and Hypertext Markup Louie didn't flow correctly. Because it's a language, really but the language is plain English.

HTML is Hyper text Markup Language. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML is a markup language. A markup language is a set of markup tags. The tags describe document content.HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text. HTML documents are also called web pages.

To make a long story short, HTML was invented in 1990 by a scientist called Tim Berners-Lee. The purpose was to make it easier for scientists at different universities to gain access to each other's research documents. The project became a bigger success than Tim Berners-Lee had ever imagined. By inventing HTML he laid the foundation for the web as we know it today.

HTML is a language, which makes it possible to present information on the Internet. What you see when you view a page on the Internet is your browser's interpretation of HTML. To see the HTML code of a page on the Internet, simply click View in the top menu of your browser and choose Source.

What can I use HTML:

If you want to make websites, there is no way around HTML. Even if you're using a program to create websites, such as Dreamweaver, a basic knowledge of HTML can make life a lot simpler and your website a lot better. The good news is that HTML is easy to learn and use. In just two lessons from now you will have learned how to make your first website.

HTML Tags

HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags

HTML tags are keywords tag names surrounded by angle brackets like HTML tags normally come in pairs like and the first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag. The end tag is written like the start tag, with a forward slash before the tag name. Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags

HTML Elements

HTML tags and HTML elements are often used to describe the same thing.

But strictly speaking, an HTML element is everything between the start tag and the end tag, including the tags,

The Meaning of HTML

                 HTML means Hypertext Markup Language.
          So now you know - HTML means Hypertext Markup Language don’t thank us.

          What does HTML mean HTML is an acronym, abbreviation or slang word that is explained above where the HTML definition is given.

Hyper Text Markup Language:

 Hypertext Markup Language is the set of markup symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for display on a World Wide Web browser page. The markup tells the Web browser how to display a Web page's words and images for the user. Each individual markup code is referred to as an element but many people also refer to it as a tag. Some elements come in pairs that indicate when some display effect is to begin and when it is to end.

HTML is a formal Recommendation by the World Wide Web Consortium W3C and is generally adhered to by the major browsers, Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's Navigator, which also provide some additional non-standard codes. The current version of HTML is HTML 4.0. However, both Internet Explorer and Netscape implement some features differently and provide non-standard extensions. Web developers using the more advanced features of HTML 4 may have to design pages for both browsers and send out the appropriate version to a user. Significant features in HTML 4 are sometimes described in general as dynamic HTML. What is sometimes referred to as HTML 5 is an extensible form of HTML called Extensible Hypertext Markup Language.
