• HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language.
Overview of HTML
• Who Invented HTML: HTML was invented in November 1990 by a scientist called Tim Berneses-Lee.
• A brief history: HTML is an improved version of Standard Generalised Markup Language(SGML) which is a Meta Language used for defining and creating descriptive markup language.
• Tools needed to get started with HTML documents:
→ A text editor/HTML editor
→ A Web Browser
• Tags and attributes
→ A tag is a special word enclosed in angle-brackets < >. It tells the browser to perform an action as asked by the special word.
→ The characteristics or the features of a tag are defined by an attribute. An attribute is used
inside a tag which always takes a value to help the browser perform the specific task in a particular direction.
→ An element is a combination of a start tag, the text and the end tag.
For example: <body> element begins with start tag, followed by text and ends with end tag.</body>
• Container of Tags: One set of tags may contain another set of tags. This is called nesting
of tags. For example: <TAG1> <TAG2>……………</TAG2> </TAG1>.
Here, <TAG1> and </TAG1> is the first block of tags. <TAG2> and </TAG2> is the second block of tags.
Structure of HTML document

• The basic structure of the HTML document is divided into two sections namely, the head and the body.
→ The first section helps in changing the heading on the title bar of the HTML document (the webpage).

Container and empty tags
• A container tag has both the start and the end tag. The text or the graphic is inserted inside the beginning and end tag of the container tag. For example: <body>This is a container tag</body>. The <BODY> tag here is a container tag which has both the beginning and the ending tag and the text in between both the tags.
• The empty tag is a stand-alone tag. This implies that such a tag has beginning but no ending tag. For example: The <BR> tag is used for adding one line break.
→ Other empty tags are HR tag, Comment tag.
BODY tag
• The second section of the webpage begins with the <BODY> tag. This defines the visible section of the document.
