What is HTML?
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is the standard language used to create and design web pages. HTML structures web content through a series of elements and tags that tell the browser how to display text, images, links, and other content.
History of HTML
HTML was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991 while he was working at CERN. The first version was quite simple, but it laid the foundation for web development as we know it. Over the years, HTML has evolved significantly:
- HTML 1.0: Released in 1991, this was the first version of HTML.
- HTML 2.0: Introduced in 1995, it added new features like forms and tables.
- HTML 3.2: Released in 1997, it included support for style sheets and scripting.
- HTML 4.01: Launched in 1999, it brought improvements in web standards and accessibility.
- HTML5: Introduced in 2014, it includes new elements and APIs for modern web applications.
Features of HTML
HTML provides a range of features that allow for the creation of structured and interactive web pages:
- Elements and Tags: The building blocks of HTML, used to create content and structure.
- Attributes: Provide additional information about HTML elements.
- Semantic Tags: Elements that give meaning to the content, such as <header>, <footer>, and <article>.
- Forms: Used for user input and data submission.
- Multimedia: Embedding images, videos, and audio into web pages.
Example: A Simple HTML Page
Here’s a basic example of an HTML document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>My First HTML Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
<p>Welcome to my first HTML page.</p>
</body>
</html>
