DING HTML
Lesson 1
 HTML
HTML is a standard markup (tags) language that is
used to create web pages and application. HTML
stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is
called a markup language since it uses a set of
markups or tags to show HTML content for
display on a web page. The newest version of
HTML was released last 2014 and it is called
HTML version 5.
To further understand HTML, let us break it down.

Hyper – In simple terms, it means “active”,

something that can be all over the place. Similarly
when you are on the Internet using a web browser,
you can in fact go “all over the place.” When you
see something you line on the web, you can
immediately go to that page.

Text – This means that you can create a web page in

a simple “text” file format
To further understand HTML, let us break it down.

Markup – in order to create web pages, you type in

text which is then “marked-up” or identified for
proper rendering by your web browser.

Language- This means that you are using a

language with all its syntax. Syntax is a set of
grammatical rules and structural patterns that
use appropriate words and symbols or for issuing
commands, writing codes, etc. Take note that
HTML is not like any other programming
language that follows linear instructions based on
different sets of rules
 HTML Works
HTML consists of a series of codes which are called
tags typed into a text-file. The text is saved as an
HTML file and can be viewed using a browser.
The browser reads and interprets the file,
composes of text, images and other materials into
web pages
