Hypertext Markup Language

 

Definition — What is HTML and its purpose?



HTML is an acronym that stands for Hypertext Markup Language.

It is the standard markup language for creating Web pages and describes the structure of a Web page. HTML consists of a series of elements that tell the browser how to display the content.

When working with HTML, simple code structures (tags and attributes) are used to mark up a webpage. For example, we can create a paragraph by placing the enclosed text within a starting <p> and closing </p> tag.

Here is a simple HTML code,

<h1>Heading</h1>
<br>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
<br>
<p>Second paragraph.</p>
<br>
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<br>
<a href="https://manageengine.com/">Click here for ManageEngine Site!</a>
<br>
<br/>
<br/>
<h6>Conditions apply**</h6>


Output:

Heading


My first paragraph.


Second paragraph.


  • Item 1
  • Item 2


  • SDP image
