What is the full form of HTML?
HTML stands
for Hypertext markup language used for developing web pages.
These files
are saved as <any name >.html i.e.;
these files will have file extension as .html ( as an example first.html). These HTML files have to be
opened using browsers (firefox, chrome, opera etc ) to see the output. All browsers support HTML. The web browser (firefox, chrome, opera etc ) does not display the HTML
tags.
The purpose
of using the html is for developing webpages.
We can
develop very good web applications if we combine HTML with CSS, JavaScript. CSS
stands for cascading style sheet.
HTML tags:
- HTML
has so many tags. We can have any number of tags in a webpage and can repeat
them as per requirement.
- These
tags are enclosed in angular brackets example
<html>. Tags can have
attributes, which gives the additional information to the content of tag.
HTML is case
insensitive language i.e.; <html> and <HTML> both are same.
Most of the elements
in html have a beginning tag and an ending. Some commonly used tags are <B>bold</B>,
<i>italic </i> ,<P> paragraph </p> , etc.
<html>
is the root tag in web page. It also has an ending/ closing tag </html>
<head> tag will start
immediately after the starting <html>
tag and end directly before
the opening body tag.
This head tag has so many sub tags like <title>, <script>, <link>, <meta>,
<script>, etc.
<title>title
of page</title> is used for title of page. Title tag will come under <head>
tag.
For example:
<head>
<title>title of the page here
</title>
</head>
All tags
will not have ending tags for example <br>.
<body>
it is called as body tag. It also has ending tag </body>. This tag consists of
all the contents of a webpage.
