A Brief Introduction To HTML









1.What is HTML?

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the only markup language for creating web pages. It provides some titles, headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, embedded images, etc., to describe the structure of text-based and multimedia information in HTML documents.
Some points to note about HTML are:
i) HTML is the first language of web designing. CSS is also used along with HTML to improve web page design further. JavaScript is used with HTML to make web pages dynamic.
ii)".html" or ".htm" are the two extensions used to write and save HTML files; we can write HTML code in any text editor and save it as "filename.html" or "filename.htm".
iii)HTML is relatively easy to learn because every tag is predefined, so only we need to know the work of tags and their attributes.







2.History of HTML

HTML was created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in late 1991 but was not officially released. It was published in 1995 as HTML 2.0. HTML 4.01 was published in late 1999 and was a major version of HTML. HTML is a very evolving markup language and has evolved with various versions updating. Long before its revised standards and specifications are carried in, each version has allowed its user to create web pages in a much easier and prettier way and make sites very efficient.

Here is a table of all the versions of HTML released thus far:

Version Year of Release
HTML 1.0 1993
