1. WHAT IS HTML?

1.1 What is HTML?

HTML, short for HyperText Markup Language, is a type of hypertext language, commonly used for Web programming.

HTML describes the structure of a website, consisting of a series of elements called HTML elements:

• HTML elements tell the browser how to display content.
• HTML elements label content elements, for example:

• HTML elements are defined by a set of tags including: <opening tag> Content </closing tag>

1.2 How HTML works

HTML files have the extension .html or .htm. A completed HTML file can be read by web browsers such as Google Chrome, Coccoc, Firefox, Safari, etc. The browser is responsible for reading and understanding the content of the tags inside, “converting” them into marked text and exporting them into visual form on the browser window for Internet users to understand.
