HTML

 HTML

HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the standard markup language for texts intended to be displayed in a web browser. It can be aided by technology like Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and programming languages like JavaScript.

Web browsers accept HTML documents from a web server or local storage and convert them to multimedia web pages. HTML semantically explains the structure of a web page and initially provided signals for the look of the content.

The earliest publicly available definition of HTML was a document named "HTML Tags," which Tim Berners-Lee initially discussed on the Internet in late 1991. It explains the first, rather simplistic design of HTML, which consists of 18 components. SGMLguid, CERN's in-house Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)-based documentation format, had a considerable effect on these, with the exception of the hyperlink tag. Eleven of these components can still be seen in HTML 4.


Berners-Lee regarded HTML to be an SGML application. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) formally defined it as such with the publication in mid-1993 of the first proposal for an HTML specification, the "Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)" Internet Draft by Berners-Lee and Dan Connolly, which included an SGML Document type definition to define the grammar. The proposal was only valid for six months, but it was important for recognizing the NCSA Mosaic browser's custom tag for embedding in-line pictures, demonstrating the IETF's principle of building standards on successful prototypes. Similarly, Dave Raggett's rival Internet-Draft, "HTML+ (Hypertext Markup Format)," published in late 1993, proposed standardized already-implemented elements like as tables and fill-in forms.
