Since its evolution, the HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) has been revised and upgraded a number of times in order to make the World Wide Web a better place to live virtually. HTML is a derivative of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), but its major flaw is that it is not extensible.

To begin with, there is no existence of a term called “Semantic HTML” in Hyper Text Markup Language. Basically, the term is in reference to the effort made to produce documents in HTML which are completely devoted to the writer’s intended meaning without any slight indication as to how the meaning is being conveyed.

We also use headings, sub-headings, horizontal lines etc. and align various portions of the document in different styles so that overall it becomes more captivating and meaningful to read.
In HTML, image maps refer to an image consisting of different parts each pointing towards a different link on the web. These types of maps are used to represent various information related to a particular organization as a whole.
