HTML

Definition

HyperText Markup Language; the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser.

Deep Dive

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language used to create and structure content on the World Wide Web. It provides the foundational framework for all web pages by using a system of "tags" to define elements such as headings, paragraphs, lists, images, links, tables, and forms. These tags instruct web browsers on how to display and organize the content, ensuring that information is presented consistently across different platforms.

Examples & Use Cases

  • 1The structure of a news article on a website, using HTML tags like `<h1>` for the title, `<p>` for paragraphs, `<img>` for embedded images, and `<a>` for hyperlinks to related stories.
  • 2An online registration form, utilizing HTML `<form>`, `<input>`, `<label>`, and `<button>` tags to create fields for user data entry and submission.
