HTML or Hypertext Markup Language is the current standard for creating web pages
on the World Wide Web. HTML has evolved since the early days of its creation. During the early years
of the web, most web pages were simple and contained little or no pictures or multimedia. The web was
intended for simple information retrieval. Therefore, most web pages were static and plain. But soon,
the web grew and people had an urge for something more fancy. Modem speeds have increased dramatically
and now the majority of web users are looking for web pages that sparkle. This new fancy look of the web
required some major revisions to HTML. The organization responsible for revising and planning the language
is the World Wide Web Consortium.
Since HTML is the very foundation
for web pages, it is absolutely imperative to know it and know it well. Here are a few examples used to
illustrate the uses of HTML.
