PostHeaderIcon HTML - Basics of Hypertext MarkUp Language

10:15:00 AM | Posted by Sukh Sandhu | Edit Post

(: LEARN HTML  :) 

INTRODUCTION 

Hypertext mark up language is not very difficult language to understand but you should understand a few basic things that how to create a HTML file, what does hypertext mark up language means? And if this is considered as language how it communicate with the internet broswer? and what are it's tags (words of communication to communicate to browser) etc... so in this blog we will try to understand it's working....

1. WHAT IS HYPERTEXT MARK-UP LANGUAGE 

Hypertext means: "Machine-readable text that is not sequential but is organized so that related items of information are connected" so it's basically "Electronic text that is stored as strings of characters and that can be displayed in a variety of formats-in short electronic text which is readable by machine" and one more apt explanation (HyperText is the method by which you move around on the web — by clicking on special text called hyperlinks which bring you to the next page. The fact that it is hyper just means it is not linear — i.e. you can go to any place on the Internet whenever you want by clicking on links — there is no set order to do things in.)

Mark-Up means: "Detailed stylistic instructions for typesetting something that is to be printed; manual markup is usually written on the copy (e.g. underlining words that are to be set in italics)-concisely Markup is what HTML tags do to the text inside them. They mark it as a certain type of text (italicised, boldfaced,underlined  text, for example).

language Means: A system of words used to name things in a particular discipline so that one end can communicate with another end and can exchange the messages and information. HTML is a Language, as it has code-words and syntax like any other language. 

2. How does it work?

HTML consists of a series of short codes typed into a text-file by the site author — these are the tags. The text is then saved as a html file, and viewed through a browser, like Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This browser reads the file and translates the text into a visible form, hopefully rendering the page as the author had intended. Writing your own HTML entails using tags correctly to create your vision. You can use anything from a rudimentary text-editor to a powerful graphical editor to create HTML pages.

3. What are the tags up to?

The tags are what separate normal text from HTML code. You might know them as the words between the . They allow all the cool stuff like images and tables and stuff, just by telling your browser what to render on the page. Different tags will perform different functions. The tags themselves don’t appear when you view your page through a browser, but their effects do. 

 

4. How To create a HTML File:


1. Open a notepad (Click START Button> All programs> Accessories> Notepad> Click the icon Notepad and open it) and write the following code and save the file as "Index.htm" and now open the saved INTERNET file without closing the notepad...

CODE:






RESULT:

    This is my first homepage. This text is bold

                                            
So I hope till now you understand that what is HTML and how to create a html file well now you have to start doing the experiments with other HTML TAGS and after adding or deleting any tags or information please always save the NOTEPAD - SOURCE CODE and open the saved internet browser window again and simply press F5 "Refresh" to see the changes...

5. Some HTML Tags now 

Headings

Headings are defined with the h1 to h6 tags. h1 defines the largest heading. h6 defines the smallest heading.

Headings tags always comes in the BODY part of html document :) 



Paragraphs

Paragraphs are defined with the p tag.

HTML automatically adds an extra blank line before and after a paragraph.

Line Breaks

The br tag is used when you want to end a line, but don't want to start a new paragraph. The br tag forces a line break wherever you place it. The br tag is an empty tag. It has no closing tag.
