Introduction To Html


HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is used to create document on the World Wide Web. It is simply a collection of certain key words called ‘Tags’ that are helpful in writing the document to be displayed using a browser on Internet. It is a platform independent language that can be used on any platform such as Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and so on.To display a document in web it is essential to mark-up the different elements (headings, paragraphs, tables, and so on) of the document with the HTML tags. To view a mark-up document, user has to open the document in a browser.  A browser understands and interpret the HTML tags, identifies the structure of the document (which part are which) and makes decision about presentation (how the parts look) of the document. HTML also provides tags to make the document look attractive using graphics, font size and colors. User can make a link to the other document or the different section of the same document.

 Document Structure
An HTML document consists of two main parts: the Head, and the Body.

General form
<HTML>
<Head> ... </Head>
<Body> ... </Body>
</HTML>

The Head contains information about the document, such as links to pages that could be preloaded; and the Body contains the document to be displayed. The main Head element you need to know about is the <TITLE> tag.  Every document should have a title - it appears as a 'label' on the browser window, and when a user bookmarks it or looks in their history list - it's the text they'll see. Eg: <Title>A Basic Introduction to HTML</Title> Another useful Head tag is the <META> tag if you want to optimise your pages for search engines.
