1. HTML-Overview
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, for creating Web pages.
At its heart, HTML is a fairly simple language made up of elements, which can be applied to
pieces of text to give them different meaning in a document (Is it a paragraph? Is it a bulleted
list? Is it part of a table?), structure a document into logical sections (Does it have a header?
Three columns of content? A navigation menu)? and embed content such as images and
videos into a page. This module will introduce the first two of these and introduce
fundamental concepts and syntax you need to know to understand HTML.
•Hypertext refers to the way in which Web pages (HTML documents) are linked
together. Thus, the link available on a webpage is called Hypertext.
•As its name suggests, HTML is a Markup Language which means you use HTML
to simply "mark-up" a text document with tags that tell a Web browser how to
structure it to display.
