HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is a markup language used to create web pages and other documents that can be viewed in a web browser. HTML is the foundation of all web pages and is used to structure content, add images, create links, and more.
HTML is written in plain text, which means it can be written using any text editor. It consists of elements that are represented by tags, which are enclosed in angle brackets (<>). These tags tell the browser how to display the content on the page.
HTML documents are made up of two parts: the head and the body. The head contains information about the document such as its title, meta data (keywords and descriptions), and links to external style sheets or scripts. The body contains all of the content that will be displayed on the page such as text, images, videos, tables, etc.
HTML also supports multimedia elements such as audio and video files. These elements can be embedded into an HTML document using special tags or by linking to external files.
HTML also supports forms which allow users to interact with a website by entering data into fields or selecting options from drop-down menus. This data can then be sent to a server for processing or stored in a database for later use.
HTML also supports interactive elements such as menus and buttons which allow users to navigate around a website or perform certain actions without having to reload the page each time they make a selection.
Finally, HTML supports Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) which allow developers to control how their webpages look by defining styles for different elements on the page such as fonts, colors, margins, etc. CSS makes it easy for developers to create consistent designs across multiple pages without having to manually adjust each element on each page individually.
In summary, HTML is an essential language used for creating websites and other documents that can be viewed in a web browser. It consists of tags that define how content should be displayed on a page as well as multimedia elements that can be embedded into documents or linked externally. It also supports forms which allow users to interact with websites by entering data into fields or selecting options from drop-down menus; interactive elements such as menus and buttons; and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) which allow developers to control how their webpages look without having to manually adjust each element on each page individually.
