HTML

Hypertext Markup Language, more commonly known as HTML, is the most widely used markup language on the internet. HTML provides a way to describe or display the structure of web pages. This is done by denoting specific text as links, paragraphs, and headings. It then adds embedded images, interactive forms and several other objects to that text. HTML is the formal standard for markup language as declared by the W3C ( World Wide Web Consortium). Major web browsers such as the Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer all adhere to it and also provide a few additional codes. Both browsers implement different features as well as non-standard extensions. The prominent features of HTML 4.0 are often termed as dynamic HTML. XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) is often called HTML 5.0. When viewing an HTML code, you will find it written the form of tags, entrapped by angle brackets. By default, data files using this format carry the extensions .html or .htm.
