HTML
is the language of the web for different components to communicate; it is often
referred as the tongue of the web. The acronym HTML stands for Hypertext Markup
Language. Hypertext refers to the ability to create links to other pages and resources;
markups are used for creating of formatted text along with images and other
resources embedded in the page. It essentially is the standard markup language
used to create web pages. It is written in the form of HTML elements, which
consists of tags enclosed in brackets, such as <html>. HTML was based on
SGML. Nowadays, recent versions of the HTML are not related nor based upon SGML,
the Standardized General Markup Language. Tim Burners Lee created the HTML in
the early 1990s.
Web
browsers, such as the Internet Explorer, has the ability to read HTML files and
create them into visible and/or audible web pages. Although the browsers do not
display the HTML tags and scripts, they do use them to translate the contents
of the web page. In a nutshell, HTML describes the structure of a website
semantically, along with guidance for presentation, branding itself a markup
language, rather than simple languages used for the purposes of programming.
The elements of HTML form the very basic building blocks of all the websites we see. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded, such as this video, and can be used to create and develop more sophisticated interactive forms. HTML is responsible for the provision of the mean to create structured documents by denoting structural "semantics" for text such as paragraphs, links, quotes and many more items. HTML can also embed scripts written in different languages, such as Java, which can alter the behaviors of HTML web pages. Web browsers also can be referred to Cascading Style Sheets, for the purpose of defining the look and layout of the texts and other visible/audible components.
