What is html?
If you want to make food in the home then the first thing we will do is we will search on google. So there we find a number of web pages and among them, we will see the procedure to do the recipe. And if you want to purchase a product then you again go to the shopping website. So everything is related to the website. In short, we use websites in our daily activities.
So in order to create this website, the basic need or the basic requirement is html. Now we see the full form of html (html full form).
Full form of html
A hypertext markup language is the full form of html. Here I mentioned it as language don’t think of it as a programming language. Html is not a programming language. It is a markup language.
Html was first developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990.
Now you knew what is html. So now we are going to discuss the use of html. What is html used for?
Use of html – what is html used for
The main use of html is to create web pages, to design a website. Now where we will use this hypertext markup language? This is used to create user interfaces. User interface means if you open a website so we can see the color, background images, videos, text, and everything simply we can say it as the look and feel. The first impression. So that can be achieved by the html.
Now, what is the requirement to use html? Which software do we need to implement this html? So there is no explicit software required to implement this html.
Requirements to implement html:
- Editor ( ant text editor for Ex. Notepad, notepad++ etc.
- Web browser ( any web browser Ex. Chrome. Mozilla Firefox, Safari, internet explorer, etc.)
An editor is used to write the html code and the web browser is used to implement the html code. This means seeing the result of the html code.
A Process to execute html code:
- Write html code in any text editor of your choice.
- Save the file with extension .html or .html ( so if you save html file using .html or .htm that implies that is a web page )
- Open the file in a web browser.
So there are three steps to execute html. For every fie there will be an extension. So whatever the file we are saving on the computer it will be having an extension. Same as for saving C programming files we use the .c extension. For python, we use .py as an extension. So by seeing the extension, we can know what type of data is available in that particular file. Similarly here if the file has an extension .html or .htm that implies a web page. So it will be opened in a web browser.
So this is a process of implementation of html. And the requirements for html.
Now, what will be there in html? So in this html, the code is written as html elements. And we called these html elements as html tags. So now the question is what are html tags? Let’s discuss it.
What is html tags
Html tags are a keyword or element written in bracket <>. By using these html tags we write the code. So a tag is represented in between less than bracket and greater than the bracket. For Ex. For displaying the title of a web page we use <title>. Every html tag is represented in between <>.
And every tag will be having a start tag and tag.
Start tag is represented as <tag_name> and
End tag is represented as </tag_name>. Simply we add backslash “/” in that tag. The whole html document is written by using tags. So the main tag for every html document on our web page is <html>. We start the write code by <html> and close it by </html>.
In html there are lots of tags by using we can create a whole website. I will give you here some basic html tags so you can understand them easily.
Basic html tags:
<title> to give a title to the web page.
<html> to start write html code.
<p> to write paragraph in a web page.
<img> to add image in a web page.
<video> to add a video on a web page.
And there many other tags are present in html. You can find the list of html tags on the internet:
Now you knew what is html tags are. Html5 is the latest version of html. In html5 other html tags are included to develop advanced web pages. So let’s discuss the features of html5.
