What is HTML & Tags?

• HTML is the language that allows text and graphics to be displayed as Web pages.

• HTML uses a series of Special Codes called Tags.

• Tags tell a browser application such as Internet Explorer how to display the web page & its items in a browser window.

HTML Tags?• Tags must be surrounded by angle brackets along with

some word. – < > or the less and greater than signs.

• Tags aren’t case sensitive, so typing a tag either <TITLE>, <title> and <TiTLE> will all do the same.

• Tags mostly come in a set or a pair .– Some are single, not a set.
