HTML Language

HTML Language

Web is a collection of documents that all link together, and bear a strong similarity to the printed documents around us. Web pages are written in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) or XHTML (eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language) or HTML Language. Both are document-layout and hyperlink-specification language. They define how to display the contents of the document, including text, images, and other support media. The language also tells how to make hypertext links, which connect document with other documents.

In keeping with the principle of separation of concerns, the function of HTML is primarily to add structural and semantic information to the raw text of a document. Presentation and behavior are separate functions, which can be added as desired, ideally through links to external documents such as style sheets, graphics files, and scripts.

HTML Language Versions

There have been several versions of HTML and is overseen by an organization called the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). The last major version of HTML was HTML 4.01 in December 1999. In January 2000, some stricter rules were added to HTML 4.01, called as XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language). HTML 5 is the latest revision of the HTML standard and currently remains under development.

However, not all of these elements require the end tag, or even the start tag, to be present like the br element.

 

HTML element – It represents structure or semantics and generally consists of a start tag, content, and an end tag for example, following is a bold element

<b> This is in bold or more dark.</b>

HTML tags – They are used to mark the start and end of an HTML element.

Start tag has opening angle bracket (<) followed by element name, zero or more space separated attribute/value pairs, and a closing angle bracket (>).

A start tag with no attributes:   <p>

A start tag with an attribute      <p class=”info”>

End tag has opening angle bracket followed by forward slash, the element name, and a closing angle bracket

</p>
