CHAPTER 6: Introduction To HTML


The Internet is a vast network that connects computers all over
the world. Through the Internet, people can share information
and communicate from anywhere with an Internet connection.
One of the most popular features of the Internet is the WWW or
the World Wide Web. It is a collection of interconnected
webpages. They are all identified by an address called the URL
(Uniform Resource Locator). A webpage contains images,
videos, hyperlinks and other webpages. These webpages are written with the help of a
language. That is HTML or (Hyper Text Markup Language). A software called a
browser is used to view a webpage(s). A collection of webpages is called a website.

HTML is a language used for making a


webpage(s). It is a language that
describes the content, format, layout in
which a webpage should be displayed
over the World Wide Web. There are
many features of HTML such as adding images, hyperlinks and videos. You will learn
more about HTML next year but this year, we will only go in the basics.

Tags: Commands in HTML are called Tags. HTML tags are the keywords on a web page
that define how your web browser must format and display your web page. There are
two types of tags:
Container Tags: They are the tags which have a start and an end or the opening tag
and the closing tag.
Empty Tags: They have an opening tag but they are not closed.

ATTRIBUTES
A attribute is a special keyword used inside a tag to specify additional information
about the tag and customize it. It is a piece of markup language used to adjust the
behavior or display of an HTML element.

Structure Of an HTML Document:
<html>
<head><title> Title of the webpage </title></head>
<body>
Tags that will customize the webpage and give them a better look.
</body>
</head>
</html>

<html> tag identifies the document as an html


document.
<head>tag provides additional information about the
webpage. It includes titles, scripts etc. It is a
container tag.
<title>tag gives the webpage a title. It appears on the
title bar of the browser. It is also a container tag.
<body>tag defines the content of a webpage. Everything that is part of this tag is
visible on the browser. It is also a container tag. All the images, videos, hyperlinks, etc;
are added in this tag.

HTML EDITORS
A HTML editor is required to create HTML documents. There are two types of HTML
editors:
WYSIWYG editor: It stands for What You See Is What You Get. It provides an in-built
interface where you can make html documents quicker without writing any html tags.
TEXT editor: These editors let us create HTML documents with the help of tags.
