File Description | HTML is the main markup language for Web pages displayed in a Web browser. They use HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>) within the content. However, the code is typically not seen by the users. If you want to view the HTML code, select "View Source" from the Web browser's View menu or right click menu. HTML files are saved in a standard text format that contain text, tables, images, and other content that is displayed on the Web page. Most static web pages have an ".html" or ".htm" extension, compared to the popular dynamic web pages such as ".aspx" or ".php". Since HTML files are just special marked up text files, they can be opened and edited with a general text editor. HTML5 is the fifth revision of the HTML standard which was created in 1990 and standardized as HTML4 as of 1997). It aims to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia. But HTML5 is still under development. |
