HTML is a powerful basic web site designing markup language.
HTML is expanded Hyper Text Markup
Language. Tim Berners Lee is a contractor
at CERN , he proposed a system for CERN. Berners Lee wrote a memo proposing an Internet
based hyper text system. He specified HTML and wrote the browser and server
software in late 1990. That year, Berners-Lee and CERN data systems engineer Robert Cailliau collaborated
on a joint request for funding, but the project was not formally adopted by
CERN. In his personal notes from 1990 he listed "some of the many
areas in which hypertext is used" and put an encyclopedia first. The first
publicly available description of HTML was a document called "HTML
Tags", first mentioned on the Internet by Tim Berners-Lee in late 1991.
HTML
was created by Berners-Lee in late 1991. HTML 2.0 is the first version. Hypertext is referring which web pages are linked together
and the link is available on webpage is called hypertext.
HTML is a markup language, content is written between tags,
makes use of various tags to format the content. Tags are enclosed between the symbols <>
