Lecture 4: COMMON HTML TAGS

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language used for creating web pages and web applications. It structures the content on the web and defines the elements that make up a web page, such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, and other multimedia. HTML provides the backbone for web content and works alongside other technologies like CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript to create dynamic and visually appealing web experiences.
It was introduced by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991 at CERN as a simple markup language. Since then, it has evolved through versions from HTML 2.0 to HTML5 (the latest 2024 version).
HTML is a combination of Hypertext and Markup language. Hypertext defines the link between the web pages and Markup language defines the text document within the tag.
