HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
One universal way of formatting the text is required for easy understanding of browsers operating on different platforms.
HTML is defined using the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). It is a way of incorporating text, graphics, sounds and videos all in one document known as a Web Page. HTML is used to create web pages that a browser can understand.
Pages created can be linked together using Hyperlinks, usually referred to as Links. The user needs to click on one of these hyperlinks to get access to related information.
HTML is based on two concepts:
Hypertext:
This provides a way to create a link to information on the same page as well as to different pages and different websites.
Markup Language:
Markup refers to the special tags that are a part of the HTML document. These tags are interpreted by Text Processing and Word Processing systems and specify how the text of the document should be displayed.
There are two types of Hyperlinks used in a website.
- Internal Links
Links used for navigation inside the website. - External Links
Links to websites outside the existing site.
