HTML – Explained In 200 Words

” Hyper Text Markup Language ” or simply known as HTML is a markup language which is used to design most of webpages on the internet. Web browser receives this HTML document from server and renders the documents, therefore we see graphics on them.

A webpage is made with HTML Elements. Each elements are defined with tags like <img> , <p>, <body> etc which interpret the content of the page.

Most elements uses two tags to define there output. For example <html> which is called a “Start Tag ” and </html> is called “End Tag”. Start and end tag always contains same keyword but the end tag must contain ” / ” before the end tag. Between Start tag and end tag you put other elements or paragraph to make a webpage. There are few tag which doesn’t need an end tag like <br>, but requires optionally ” / ” after the keyword like <img> or <img/>.Most tags contains attributes to modify the element (example: <p style=”color:red;”>Hello World!</p>)

A HTML webpage usually starts with HTML tag ” <html></html> ” and within it contains other elements. A well made HTML code contains Head tag (“<head></head>”) where a webpage metadata is stored and a Body Tag ( “<body></body>”) to make structure of the webpage.
