HTML

HTML is a markup language used for the development of Internet pages. It stands for HyperText Markup Language, which could be translated as a hypertext document formatting language.

It can also be defined as the system for creating and marking websites with content, graphics, links and images.

THE HTML FORMAT 🚧

This is an open format that emerged from the SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) tags. It is generally understood as a system that allows you to sort and label several documents within a list. This language is used to specify the names of the tags that will be used when ordering, there are no rules for this organization, so it is said to be an open format system.

HTML deals with developing a description of the contents that appear as text and their structure, integrating this text with different objects (such as images, animations, etc.). It is a very simple and general language that serves to define other languages that have to do with the format of documents. The text contained in it is created by labels, also called tags, that allow the interconnection of different concepts and formats.

Tags are created for writing this language and are specified by square or angular brackets. Among its components, the elements give shape to the essential structure of the language, since they have two properties (the content itself and its attributes).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE CODE ℹ️

On the other hand, it should be noted that HTML allows some code known as scripts, which provide specific instructions to the browsers that are responsible for processing the language. Among the scripts that can be added, the best known and used are JavaScript and PHP.

The structural marking is the one that establishes the purpose of the text, even if it does not define the appearance of the element. The presentation markup, on the other hand, is the one that indicates how the text will go beyond its function. To know the HTML code used by a web page, you must select View Source Code in the browser (like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox). By choosing this option, the text editor will open with the HTML code of the displayed page.

Today there are Web Editors that allow designers, through graphic tools, to create web pages without knowing the html code, this is created in an automated way, giving structure to the web and allowing to be beyond the computer where it is created. Among the resources that can be linked to HTML code there are photographs, videos, files from other websites or even from the same and all kinds of content that are uploaded on the net.
