HTML Basics

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create web pages. HTML uses tags like <h1> and </h1> to structure and present content on web pages. A web browser can read HTML files and display them as visible or audible web pages. The first description of HTML was published by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991, and has since evolved through versions like HTML 2.0, HTML 4, and now HTML5. HTML has a simple syntax that is easy to learn and use to code web pages. It allows embedding of multimedia like video and audio, and new features in HTML5 include canvas drawing, custom data attributes, and client-side storage.

Basics of HTML

What is HTML?

 HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the standard markup


language used to create Web pages.
 HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed
in angle brackets (like <html>).
 HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although
some tags represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>.
 The first tag in a pair is the start tag, and the second tag is the end tag (they
are also called opening tags and closing tags).
 A Web browser can read HTML files and compose them into visible or
audible Web pages.
History of HTML

 The first publicly available description of HTML was a document called


"HTML Tags", first mentioned on the Internet by Berners-Lee in late
1991. 
 It describes 18 elements comprising the initial simple design of HTML.

 Eleven of these elements still exist in HTML 4.

 After the HTML and HTML+ drafts expired in early 1994, the IETF
created an HTML Working Group, which in 1995 completed "HTML 2.0“.
 The first HTML specification intended to be treated as a standard against
which future implementations should be based.
  HTML has been progressively moved in this direction with CSS.
Syntax of HTML
Easy to Use & Understand

 Almost anyone in the web development business would


know HTML be it a freelancer or a large agency.
 It would be relatively easy to find cost-effective and
affordable solution providers who can make the changes
you need to your website.
 Today, XML is increasingly being used for data storage.

 The similarity of syntax between HTML and XML


means that it is easier and seamless working between the
two platforms.
HTML is in XML

 The other syntax that can be used for HTML is XML.

 This syntax is compatible with XHTML1 documents and implementations.

 Documents using this syntax need to be served with an XML media type

namespace following the rules set forth by the XML specifications. 


 Below is an example document that conforms to the XML syntax of HTML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head> <title>Example document</title>
</head> <body> <p>Example paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
Advantages of HTML

 Widely used in established on almost every website, if not all websites. 

 Very similar to XML syntax, which is increasingly used for data storage. 

 Free - You need not buy any software. 

 Easy to learn & code even for novice programmers.
