A not very technical yet fun loving tutorial for HTML!
We know how and why HTML originated in the first place. But we still have no idea what is HTML, what functions it includes and how it works. HTML, as all of you know is a Hypertext Markup Language which has been inspired from another markup language known as the SGML. We normally use this language to create a link between the various documents online and also to design the layout and attributes of a web document. Before going further in this tutorial, we start with the URL which is the uniform resource locator which helps you find the exact document or page. For each document or page there is a unique URL. Now this is not uncommon for the people who are net savvy. You must have definitely used the URL a hundred times. But that is not the point, the main thing you should know is how to navigate from your home page to the other web pages i.e. how it is linked.
<beginning tag> statement< /end tag>
As you can see in the statement above, there is a / before the end tag and you should consider this important. The tags are differentiated as the head tag and the body tag. You also have the HTML tag and the title tag other then the head and body tag. Let us see each tag in some detail and observe how it looks like in a script. HTML tag is to make the program realize where the beginning for the HTML code is. It looks like this. It is not being used by many recently. The Head tag contains special tags like the header of a document. Basically, the body tag gives information about the linking, the documents, the layouts and other such things for your web page.
