What is HTML?The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the preferred language of website design. The most successful documents on the Web are written in HTML. Clickable hyperlinks, images, Java applets, multimedia, forms, DHTML and other Web innovations are all based on HTML. HyperText Markup Language is a way of adding various attributes to simple text files that are displayed on the World Wide Web. HTML lets you mix pictures with text, create hypertext documents that interact with the user and alter the appearance of text in website design. If you've learned to use a word processor, you've learned something more complex than HTML code. HTML isn't really a programming language. Actually, HTML is a simple markup language. Beginners can pick up the basics quickly. All you need to do is try. Most Auto -Builder programs that we've seen are harder to learn than HTML itself. Building pages with a word processor program such as Microsoft Word and then converting them to HTML pages is OK until you run into problems. Serious webmasters need to access the actual code. Code produced using this method is border line HTML. A Tag ConceptHTML code is based around the concept of tags. A tag looks like this: Proper HTML code requires a number of different protocols. Most browsers today support HTML 4.0 specifications, layed down by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C.org). You can use any word processor or application that saves data as plain text to write an HTML file (such as Notepad.) HTML editors are better. |

HTML Code is PortableHTML code is very portable. Any document conforming to HTML protocols can be understood no matter what sort of software or computer the user has. For example, the same page can be viewed by someone using Windows, Apple or UNIX software. The original purpose of HTML was to create a universal way of storing and displaying information on the internet. Champions of this theory see HTML as a content-based language of website design. What's in the document is much more important than how it looks. New tools like Flash, Java script and Dynamic HTML have appeared in recent years. But, because of search engines' inabilities to process these new innovations, plain ole HTML code has remained the main-stay of internet development. Pages that include Flash and complicated Java applets, slow the loading process of pages into browsers on dial up connections, making them a poor choice for those web authors concerned with web site usability. The best HTML authors manage to create attractive and innovative Web pages that perform well on all browsers. This of course takes work. |
