INTRODUCTION OF HTML
• HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is used to create document on the

on Internet.
It is a platform independent language that can be used
on any platform such as Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and so on. To display
a document in web it is essential to mark-up the different e l eme n t s (
headings, paragraphs, tables, and so on) of the
document with the HTML tags. To view a mark-up document u s e r h a s
to open the document in a browser. A browser
understands and interpret the HTML tags, identifies the structure of the
document (which part are which) and makes decision about presentation
(how the parts look) of the document.
HTML also provides tags to make the document look
attractive using graphics, font size and colors. User can make a link to the
other document or the different section of the same document by
creating Hypertext Links also known as Hyperlinks

Web)is a system of
interlinked hypertext documents accessed via
the Internet. With a web browser, one can
view web pages that may contain text, images,
videos, and other multimedia and navigate
between them via hyperlinks.

a) HTML Editor: it is the program that one uses to
create and save HTML documents. They fall into
two categories:
- Text based or code based which allows one to see the
HTML code as one is creating a document.e.g.
Notepad.

piece of text is used to identify an element so that the
browser realizes how to display its contents.e.g.<HTML> tag
indicates the start of an HTML document .HTML tag can be
two types. They are:-
• -Paired Tags :A tag is said to be a paired tag if text is placed
between a tag and its companions tag.In paired tag ,the
first tag is referred to as opening tag and the second tag is

• The <HTML> tag encloses all other HTML tags and associated text
within your document. It is an optional tag. You can create an HTML
document that omits these tags, and your browser can still read it
and display it. But it is always a good form to include the start and
stop tags.The format is:
• <HTML>
Your Title and Document (contains text with HTML tags) goes here
• </HTML>
Most HTML tags have two parts, an opening tag and closing tag. The
closing tag is the same as the opening tag, except for the slash
mark e.g. </HTML>. The slash mark is always used in closing tags.
