Heya !!
What is HTML ??
The acronym for HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language. Initially, it was known by the name of GML (General Markup Language). In 1986, it was renamed to SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language). In 1989, Sir Tim Berners-Lee and his team redesigned this language and named it Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), as we know it today.
HTML is a markup language usually used to create the basic structure of a web-page. Using HTML with JavaScript (JS is a client-side programming language used to make HTML pages alive), we can even create Windows 10 Store Applications through Visual Studio.
What are Tags ??
Tags are a piece of code that tells the web-browser what to show and how to show. HTML is a tag-based language.
Two types of Tags.
Tags can broadly be classified into\
- Container Tags, and
- Empty Tags.
Container Tags are those tags which have both an opening and a closing tag.
Empty tags are those tags which have only an opening tag.
Some commonly used Tags.
Some common tags used in creating even the simplest of web-pages are listed below:
- < html > .... < /html > - This tag is used in the beginning of each and every html document. This is a container tag and contains all the elements/tags of a html page.
- < body > .... > - This tag contains the elements of a web-page that show up in the browser like text, images, forms etc...
- < head > .... < /head > - This tag contains the elements of a web-page that don't show in the browser window such as style sheets, JS code, metadata, link to JS/CSS files, favicon.ico etc...
- < h1 > < h6 > - Heading 1 to heading six are heading tags used in html. H1 is used for the largest heading. The font-size of the text in h1 to h6 tags reduces as we move from h1 to h6.
- < p > .... < /p > - This tag is used for typing text in a website. It is generally used when we have to type a paragraph or more on a web-page.
These were some commonly used tags in HTML.
Hope it helps !!
