What is HTML

Hypertext Markup Language 

    HTML is a standard language which is used to create web pages and applications with the help of Cascading Style Sheets and JavaScript. HTML describes the structure of a web page.

  • HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
  • HTML describes the structure of Web pages using markup
  • HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages
  • HTML elements are represented by tags
  • HTML tags label pieces of content such as "heading", "paragraph", "table", and so on
  • Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to render the content of the page.
Html consists of codes into a text file written by the web designer(not necessarily)
these little codes are called tags.
<angle brackets> separate the normal text from tags in other words normal text is wrapped into angle brackets to be a tab for example to show bold text we will use letter b inside angle bracket <b>Text</b>. Every tag comes in a pair. or starting tag after the required tag must end with /. These tags don't appear in the browser but their effects do.
Since HTML is a markup language it can be created using any text editor (notepad) as long as it is saved with HTML or HTM file extension.Once created it could be viewed in any web browser. locally or online.Codes written in scripting languages such as JavaScript could be embedded in HTML. Cascading Style Sheet(CSS) defines the look and feel of the layout controls of the content, It is recommended to use CSS instead of presentational HTML or inline CSS.
HTML documents start with document type because it defines the rendering mode. The basic purpose of document type is to enable the parsing and validation of HTML documents based on document type, HTML5 does not define the document type declaration or DTD therefore in HTML5 the document type declaration is simple and short.
