Hypertext markup language (HTML) is a markup language used to create a web page and display the information in an Internet browser. Starting from a language that is widely used previously in the world of publishing and printing called sgml (Standard Generalized Markup Language), HTML is a standard that is widely used to display web pages. HTML is the standard at this time that Internet usage is controlled and defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

HTML form code tags that instruct the browser to display in accordance with the desired result. A file is an HTML file can be opened using a web browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer. HTML also can be identified by an email application or from PDAs and other programs that have the ability browser.

For example, if you want to make the text appear to be thick, such as: TAMPIL TEBAL, written and performed by: Quick View <b> TAMPIL TEBAL </ b>. Alerts <b> used to print the instructions to activate the bold, followed by the text that you want to bold, and ends with </ b> to turn off the bold print.

Markup / Alerts

  • Structural. signs that determine the level or levels of a text (eg, <h1> Golf </ h1>) will command the browser to display the “Golf” as the big bold text that shows as heading 1
  • Presentational. signs that determine the appearance of a text is not concerned with the level of the text (eg, <b> boldface </ b>) will show bold. Alerts presentational already started at this time replaced by CSS and not recommended to set the display text,
  • Hypertext. signs that indicate a link to a section of the document or link to another document (eg, <a href=”http://www.wikipedia.org/”> Wikipedia </ a> will show Wikipedia as a hyperlink to a specific URL),
