HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the code that defines the structure and layout of web pages on the internet. Tim Berners-Lee created HTML and the World Wide Web in 1989 at CERN. HTML uses tags to give instructions to web browsers on how to display text, images, and other content on web pages. Common HTML tags are used to define headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and tables.
2. HTML HTML means Hyper Text Markup Language . HTML is a language that helps us to create web sites in the Internet . HTML helps to coordinate human and the computer . So we have to use some codes to explain to computer what are we going to do. Therefore we use HTML to give instructions to create web sites.
4. Tim Berners-Lee ( CERN physicist) Creator of HTML & WWW CERN is an European Organization for Nuclear Research at Geneva
5. HTML is an evolving standard (as new technology/tools are added) HTML 1 (Sir Tim Berners-Lee, 1989): very basic, limited integration of multimedia in 1993, Mosaic added many new features (e.g., integrated images) HTML 2.0 (IETF, 1994): tried to standardize these & other features, but late in 1994-96, Netscape & IE added many new, divergent features HTML 3.2 (W3C, 1996): attempted to unify into a single standard but didn't address newer technologies like Java applets & streaming video Beginning of HTML
6. Beginning of HTML (cont.) HTML 4.0 (W3C, 1997): current standard (but moving towards XHTML) attempted to map out future directions for HTML, not just react to vendors HTML 4.01(W3C, 1999): XHTML 1.0 (W3C, 2000): HTML 4.01 modified to conform to XML standards XHTML 1.1 (W3C, 2001): “Modularization” of XHTML 1.0 HTML 5 ( Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group, W3C, 2006): New
7. HTML Tags We use some codes to explain to computer what are we going to do. These codes called as “Tags”. HTML tags must type in the angle brackets(<>) ,it wants to type in a text editor and save with .htm or .html extension. If we use a tag we should close the tag. To close the tag we use closing tags(</>).
8. Software & Text Editors What You See is What You Get(Software): Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage, Netscape Composer, Adobe Page Mill, ,Hotdog Word (Save As Webpage) Text Editors Notepad Word pad Code View GEdit Nano Editor

28. Creating Absolute Links <a href="url">Text to be displayed</a> Anchor Tag Href attribute used to address the document to link to Where this link will take you Text hyperlink that appears in browser Closing Anchor Tag
29. Creating Relative Links <a href=“nameofpage.html">Text to be displayed</a> Anchor Tag href attribute used to address the document to link to Where this link will take you (page within website name Text hyperlink that appears in browser Closing Anchor Tag
30. Link Tag Html Links : Html links are defined with the <a> tag Syntax : <a href="http://www.gmil.com">Gmail</a> Example : <html> <body> <a href="http://www.gmail.com">Gmail</a> </body> </html> Gmail O/P : If we click this link it goes to gmail account
