What is HTML?

HTML is a language for describing web pages.

  • HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language
  • A markup language is a set of markup tags
  • HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages

HTML Tags

HTML markup tags are usually called HTML tags
  • HTML tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like <html>
  • HTML tags normally come in pairs like <b> and </b>
  • The first tag in a pair is the start tag, the second tag is the end tag
  • Start and end tags are also called opening tags and closing tags


Below is the simplest example of it.
Example : 1
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>

<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

Example Explained

  • The text between <html> and </html> describes the web page
  • The text between <body> and </body> is the visible page content
  • The text between <h1> and </h1> is displayed as a heading
  • The text between <p> and </p> is displayed as a paragraph

Now in the second example we show the MARQUEE tag with all its Beauvoir...Lets see.
Example:2
<html>
<head>
<MARQUEE>This text will scroll from left to right slowly</MARQUEE>
<MARQUEE direction="right">This text will scroll from right to left slowly</MARQUEE>
<MARQUEE BEHAVIOR=SLIDE>This marquee will scroll in and "stick."</MARQUEE>

<MARQUEE SCROLLDELAY=5 SCROLLAMOUNT=50>This is a very fast marquee.</MARQUEE>
</HEAD>

Now in the third example we Some different things...you might have shown that at the starting of some kind of artical or story there is always at the begining of paragraph usually FIRST CHARACTER is bigger than the others...but how it works...let's see it.
Example:3
<html>
<head>
<title>Someting NEW but old</title>
<STYLE>
<!--
SPAN { float: left;
font-family: "Cushing Book";
font-SIZE: 75pt }

</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H2 ALIGN="CENTER">
The 23rd Psalm</h2>
<SPAN>J</SPAN>itendra
</html>

Now in the forth example we are moving towards using CSS files which mean cascading style sheet....through this css file you can change your complete look of HTML web page. For this we have two files (.css) file and our (.html) file in which we link our css file....let's see how?
Example:4
HTML FILE

<html>
<head>
<title>JITENDRA CHAUAHAN </title>
<LINK REL=STYLESHEET HREF="style1.CSS" TYPE="text/css">
</head>
<BODY bgcolor="black">
<H1><marquee behavior="alternate">Camp Bear Claw</H1></marquee>
<H2 CLASS="archery">Archery</H2>
<H2 CLASS="arts">Arts and Crafts</H2>
<H2 CLASS="horseback">horseback Riding</H2>
<H2 CLASS="hiking">Hiking</H2>
<H2 CLASS="campfire">Campfire Song Times</H2>
<H2 CLASS="java">Java Programming</H2><br>
<H3 CLASS="jitu"><marquee bgcolor="white">jitu USE OF EXTERNAL STYLESHEET jitu</H3></marquee>
</BODY>
</html>
CSS FILE


H1 { text-align: Center;
      font-family: Comic Sans MS; color: magenta; }
H2.archery { font-family: Blackadder ITC; color: lime; }
H2.arts {  font-family: French Script MT; color: aqua;}
H2.horseback { font-family: Bradley Hand ITC; color: olive }
H2.hiking { font-family: Comic Sans MS;color:teal }
H2.campfire { font-family: French Script MT; color: orange; }

Now in our last example you will see how FRAMESET tag divide our webpage into no of parts etc...
Example:5
<html>
<head>
<title>Frameset Example</title>

<Frameset cols="50%,50%">
   <Frameset rows="34%,33%,33%">
   <frame src="Audi-R-Zero-Concept_2.jpg">
   <frame src="Background.jpg">
   <frame src="Field.jpg"></frameset>
   
   <Frameset rows="34%,33%,33%">
   <frame src="Background.jpg">
<frame src="Audi-R-Zero-Concept_2.jpg">
   <frame src="Field.jpg"></frameset>
</frameset>

</head>
</title>

So in this way using HTML webpages we can display information but it has many limitations...like html webpages are not Dynamic or can support applications but before you starting to learn any web-developing language as a base you have to have basic knowledge of your HTML pages....
