2. WHAT IS HTML
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the set of markup symbols or codes
inserted in a file intended for display on a World Wide Web browser page.
The markup tells the Web browser how to display a Web page's words and
images for the user.
3. 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.
4. 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 <angle-brackets>. 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. The simplest
tags do nothing more than apply formatting to some text, like this:

The <title> element specifies a title for the document
The <body> element contains the visible page content
The <h1> element defines a large heading
The <p> element defines a paragraph
8. ADDING PARAGRAPH AND BODY
BACK
NOTICE: you place the text
inside the codes beginning
with <p> and closing it with
</p> in order for your text to
be visible.
10. HTML Formatting Elements
HTML also defines special elements for defining text with a special meaning.
HTML uses elements like <b> and <i> for formatting output, like bold or italic text.
Formatting elements were designed to display special types of text:
<b> - Bold text
<strong> - Important text
<i> - Italic text
<em> - Emphasized text
<mark> - Marked text
<small> - Small text
<del> - Deleted text
<ins> - Inserted text
<sub> - Subscript text
<sup> - Superscript text
