in earlier days users had to be familiar with HTML syntax in order to publish content on the internet. now you can just compose text and the software takes care of generating the HTML program code automatically.
HTML is a markup language used to create web pages. an HTML page consists of tags or elements with special attributes that helps in formatting the text. we can use Text Editor to write HTML codes.
'after reading the lines I have a problem. it is told that by writing in ordinary language we can create blogs as the software converts it into HTML programming codes automatically.we can use a text editor to write HTML codes
then where will we use HTML codes ? will we use them in blogs only ? why will we use HTML codes if it also accept ordinary language ?
please answers !!! this question is of 50 points.
Answers
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications. With Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript, it forms a triad of cornerstone technologies for the World Wide Web. It is a form of programming language that is used to make web pages on the internet viewable. So it can be said that it is because of HTML that web pages are interesting to look at, but the importance of HTML is often taken for granted.
Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and render the documents into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document.
Reasons to learn HTML
1. Better business communications
Today’s businesses are increasingly doing their work online, using a web browser for everything from mail and calendar apps to maintaining project and team notes on intranet sites.
Most wiki frameworks used for business content have a modified, simplified markup language they use by default. But most also accept properly formed HTML formatting, which affords you many more publishing options.
2. Make updates yourself
If you regularly need areas of your company’s website updated and haven’t looked into learning a little HTML, you really should. Most minor updates are simple to perform with basic knowledge of HTML and web standards. There’s no need to pay a designer to do something you could do as easily as updating a Word document.
3. Visual web tools complicate things
Visual HTML-building tools like Dreamweaver, Muse, Hype, and others can make web design easier. But in most cases they’re also generating code that you can easily write yourself, in raw HTML.
And should you need to work “outside the box” to build something in a way your software doesn’t support, you’re on your own. The lure of visual web tools can distract you from learning a little HTML; you might find what you need to do is far easier than you expected.
4. Better blogging
If you blog regularly, then you owe it to yourself to learn HTML. Sure, you can find visual buttons and toolbars for formatting your text in most modern blog applications, but learning a smidge of HTML coding—and perhaps a little CSS and JavaScript—will bring far more power to your fingertips than your blogging software could ever provide.
It takes a single line of HTML code to insert movies and media into your posts with confidence, not to mention tackling custom layouts, animated elements, and more.
Customizing your blog’s widgets and plug-ins is also far easier with a good understanding of HTML and CSS under your belt.
5. Streamline your life
Knowing HTML can also help out in our day-to-day lives.
It is common knowledge that eBay auctions with visually rich HTML-formatted descriptions usually sell better and faster than less compelling counterparts, so don’t get left behind. Adding pizzazz to an Evite invitation, designing a beautiful email message, or freshening up the news on your community group’s website are other tasks that only need a little HTML markup savvy to get the job done.
HTML is dead simple to learn (you just need a web browser and a text editor), and once you’re comfortable with the basic HTML elements behind each web page, every page you visit becomes a living reference, too.
See a really cool effect or layout you’d like to try out yourself? Just find the “View Source” menu item in your web browser and you can see just how it was done. (Just don’t forget to credit your sources; they worked hard on that code! )
Likewise, with most content management systems (CMS), the person creating the website needs very little technical skills for basic page creation. But if you understand exactly what the CMS is doing, it can help you in troubleshooting when you have problems.
Hi,
Thanks for asking this question!
If you wanna be a frontend developer then you have to learb HTML, because without leaning HTML you cannot make custom things.. for example client told you to build a banner at the bottom of webpage.. but your software which you are using to convert your plain ordinary text into HTML is unable to do that because software developers havn't added that feature in sofware.. then what will you do??
then where will we use HTML codes ?? will we use them in blogs only ?? why will we use HTML codes if it also accept ordinary language ??
if you know HTML then you can use is everywhere.. you will be able to make the structure of your webpage without need of any software and own. You do not have to depend on software and most importantly you will be able to make those things which are not provided my those sofwares.
Actually every sofware follows a pattern, you have to follow that pattern to make websites.. and also those sofwares are used by so many people in the world.. so if you will use those sofwares your website gonna look like same as those sites.
