What is HTML?
- HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language
- It is the standard markup language used to create web pages.
- A markup language is a set of markup tags
- HTML documents are described by HTML tags
- Each HTML tag describes different document content
- It is used by most websites to create visually engaging webpages, user interfaces for web applications, and user interfaces for many mobile applications
- HTML markup consists of several key components, including those called tags (and their attributes), character-based data types, character references and entity references.
- HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>.
- The first tag in such a pair is the start tag, and the second is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags).
