HTML

After discussing Netiquette. We go to our next topic, and that is HTML.

So, What is HTML?

HTML

• stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
• language for describing web pages.
• is a markup language
• A markup language is a set of markup tags
• tags describe document content
• HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text
• HTML documents are also called Web Pages.

HTML Tags

• HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags
• are keywords (tag names) surrounded by angle brackets
• normally come in pairs
• the first tag in the pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
• The end tag is written like the start tag, with a forward slash before the tag name 
• Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags.

HTML Elements

• "HTML Tags" and "HTML Elements" are often used to describe the same thing
• But strictly speaking, an HTML element  is everything between the start and end tag. 

HTML Attributes

• HTML elements can have attributes
• Attributes provide additional information to an element
• Attributes are always specified in the start tag
• Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value"

For me, HTML is the hardest topic that we tackled in our second quarter. It's very complicated compared to CMD in our first grading.
