The language HTML and XHTML
The HTML (HyperText Markup Language) language is the language used for web-pages. As the name implies, HTML is used for the page structure. Marking start and end for the HTML, HEAD, TITLE, BODY, HeadLines, Paragraphs and so on.After reading these lessons, you should be able to understand the text below, if you don't already
The structure of the grammar is HTML DTD (Document Type Definition). HTML DTD was created by SGML syntax, witch is an international standard (ISO 8879). DTD is a declaration in a SGML- or XML-document witch by definition defines the structure of the document.
XHTML is forcing the XML rules upon the HTML language. Many people see XHTML as the new version of HTML because of this, but the XHTML format is not HTML2, but a new parallel standard. W3C is recomending that you use XHML 1.1, XHTML 1.0 or HTML 4.01 when making web-pages.
Getting startet
You don't need much to get startet with HTML. You will need a texteditor (Notepad, vim, pico, textpad or something like that), a web browser and a computer. Since you are reading this, you got a computer and a browser. Every computer I have even seen got a texteditor, so it will be very easy. You can not write HTML with Microsoft Word, or any of those fancy GUI text editors. You should just be using a texteditor like notepad to begin with.You will need to start your notepad, and save the file as a HTML document. Start notepad, and save the file as:
- Filename: index.html
- Filetype: All files
- Coding: UTF-8
