HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)

What is an HTML File?
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Languages ,which is an application of standard generalized Markup Language(SGML).It is a simple language used to define and describe the layout of a Web page.HTML also supports Multimedia and documents links.

HTML consist of special codes which when embedded in text,adds formatting. The special characters,which separate HTML from ordinary text, are the left and right brackets.(<>).These brackets contain instructions known as TAGS that are not case sensitive.The Case study substantially helps in understanding the need for learning HTML and the usage of HTML and the usage of HTML in designing the web pages.

HTM or HTML Extension?

When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension. We have used .htm in our examples. It might be a bad habit inherited from the past when some of the commonly used software only allowed three letter extensions.Use notepad to save html file.
