What is HTML?

Available in All Subscription Plans

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is a markup language which consists of tags embedded in the text of a document. The browser reading the document interprets these markup tags to help format the document for subsequent display to a reader.
With the help of HTML you can set the colors of the document, text attributes (font, size, alignment etc.) or embed different objects (images, sounds and other) in your document.

There are several rules of HTML you should remember:

  1. All the HTML tags are enclosed in < > (e.g. <br>);
  2. HTML tags are not case sensitive;
  3. The majority of HTML elements require both open and close tag (e.g. <b>some text in bold</b>);
  4. The attributes of HTML tags are denoted with an equal sign and enclosed within quotation marks (e.g. <font color='red'>some text in red</font>;
  5. To set colors hexadecimal code is mostly used (e.g. <font color='#000000'>some text in BLACK</font>).
