WHAT
IS HTML?
First created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, HTML is short for
Hypertext Mark-up Language. HTML is utilized to make electronic reports (called
pages) that are shown on the World Wide Web. Each page contains a progression
of associations with different pages called hyperlinks. Each website page you
see on the Internet is composed utilizing one adaptation of HTML code or
another.
HTML code guarantees the best possible organizing of content
and pictures with the goal that your Internet program may show them as they are
proposed to look. Without HTML, a program would not realize how to show message
as components or burden pictures or different components. HTML additionally
gives a fundamental structure of the page, whereupon Cascading Style Sheets are
overlaid to change its appearance. Web pages are not merely text document, they
encompass more than HTML text documents, which includes CSS, python,
Javascript, JQuery to mention but a few. Each of these programs uses its own
specific set of instructions that can be included inside text files to specify
the look and variation of the page. Furthermore, one could consider HTML the
bones (structure) of a page, and CSS as its skin (appearance). Most HTML tags
have an opening tag containing the tag name, tag qualities, an end tag
containing a forward slash, and the tag name being shut. Below is what a html
tag looks like. Each tag is contained within a less than and greater than sign
bracket (<>).
There
are several editors that exists that facilitates the creation or viewing of any
html file, however, the file written must be saved in a .html format. Some text
editors that can be utilised for both personal or on an industrial level
includes atom, notepad++, bracket to mention but a few. When the HTML document
is made, it tends to be seen locally or transferred to a web server to be seen
web based utilizing a program. Examples of HTML-reading browsers includes
internet explorer (Microsoft), chrome (Google), safari (Apple). An exciting
exercise to follow through the basics of web design will be to download the
note editor Notepad++ or other code editors and play around with the tags to
visualise the little theoretical message passed on in this blog. Below is a
sample project constructed using html text and tags. To view the code on a
browser, one will simply save the file as a html.file or resave any changes
made to the text document and then navigate to the ‘Run’ option at the top of
the dashboard to view the file in a selected browser.
