HTML Programming Introduction (class1)

HTML, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, is the predominant markup
language for web pages. HTML is the basic building-blocks of webpages.
HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags, enclosed in angle
brackets(like <html>), within the web page content. HTML tags normally come in pairs
like <h1> and </h1>. The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end
tag (they are also called opening tags and closing tags). In between these tags web
designers can add text, tables, images, etc.
The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into
visual or audible web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the
tags to interpret the content of the page.
HTML elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and
objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a
means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as
headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It can embed scripts in
languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML webpages.
Web browsers can also refer to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to define the
appearance and layout of text and other material. The W3C, maintainer of both the
HTML and the CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over explicitly presentational
HTML markup
