What is HTML?

HTML stands for Hypertext markup language, and it is the most widely used language to write web pages, as its suggests, HTML is a markup language.

Hypertext refers to the way in which web pages(HTML documents) are linked together, when you click a link in a web page, you are using hypertext.

Markup Language describes how HTML works. With a markup language, you simply “mark up” a text document with tags that tell a web browser how to structure it to display.

All you need to do to use HTML is learn what type of markup to use to get the results you want.

Why to learn HTML?

It is possible to create WebPages without knowing anything about the HTML source behind the page.

There are excellent editors on the market that will take care of the HTML parts. All you need to do is layout the page.

However, if you want to make it above average in web design, it is strongly recommended you to understand these tags.

The most important benefits are :

you can use tags the editor does not support.

You can read the code of other people’s pages, and “borrow” the cool effects.

You can do the work yourself, when the editor simply refuses to create the effects you want.
