What is HyperText Mark-up Language (HTML)?

HTML stands for HyperText Mark-up Language. It is the extension file used to make a simple basic webpage. Usually I use .html or .htm extension or what you find at the end of each simple webpage. HTML is a static page that has ability to display item. It is a server side scripting.

example:

home.htm or home.html

I use notepad where I enter codes or elements to create a webpage file and save file as like the example I gave you above.

HTML Tags or Syntax this are the codes I typed in the notepad that marks the beginning and end.

Element - is a tag
Attribute - description to tag
value - content that is assigned to the attribute


Basic HTML Syntax or Structure:
















Basic HTML Elements are:

• Headers (H1) to (H6) - H1 is bigger and bolder while H6 is the smallest header size
  
• Paragraphs (P) - use to mark the start of a new paragraph
  
• List item (LI)- use for list items or bulleted and numbered/letters items
  
• Horizontal Rules or tags (HR) - use to draw a horizontal line across the page

Inline or Text Level Elements:

• EM, I, B, FONT use for character emphasis
• A is use for hypertext links
• BR is use for line breaks
• APPLET this is embedded objects
• IMG this is use for images

It is so easy to create your own webpage with your own design.
