Information AboutHtml 4.01 |
HTML, short for '''Hypertext Markup Language''', is the predominant Markup Language for Web Page s. It provides a means to describe the structure of text-based information in a document — by denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to supplement that text with ''interactive forms'', embedded ''images'', and other objects. HTML is written in the form of labels (known as tags), surrounded by Angle Brackets . HTML can also describe, to some degree, the appearance and Semantics of a document, and can include embedded Scripting Language code which can affect the behavior of Web Browser s and other HTML processors. HTML is also often used to refer to content of the MIME Type text/html or even more broadly as a generic term for HTML whether in its XML -descended form (such as XHTML 1.0 and later) or its form descended directly from SGML (such as HTML 4.01 and earlier). BASIC FEATURES
Sophisticated and dynamic documents can be created by combining HTML with presentational languages like CSS , and behavioral languages like JavaScript that give access to the DOM . DEFINITION OF HTML HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. # '' Hypertext '' is ordinary text that has been dressed up with extra features, such as formatting, images, multimedia, and links to other resources. # Markup is the process of taking ordinary text and adding extra symbols. Each of the symbols used for markup in HTML is a command that tells a Browser how to display the text. HISTORY OF HTML Origins In 1980, physicist Tim Berners-Lee , who was an independent contractor at CERN , proposed and prototyped ENQUIRE , a Hypertext system for CERN researchers to use to share documents. In 1989, Berners-Lee and CERN data systems engineer Robert Cailliau each submitted separate proposals for an Internet -based Hypertext system providing similar functionality. The following year, they collaborated on a joint proposal, the WorldWideWeb (W3) project, which was accepted by CERN. First specifications |
