HTML is an essential language for any web developer or programmer and the basis of all things web.

An HTML file contains the following-

  1. Document type declaration
  2. Head
  3. Body
  4. Elements (Comprises of opening and closing tags)

What is a Tag you may ask?

Well, tags are basically hidden “keywords” which define how a browser must format and display a content. There must be an opening tag and a closing tag. For an example, <html> is an opening tag and </html> is a closing tag. The opening and closing tags create an ELEMENT.

HTML 5 is the newer, better and much advanced version of HTML. Some of the great things that HTML 5 supports are-

New elements

New attributes

Full CSS3 support

Video and audio

2D/3D Graphics

Local Storage

SQL Databases and

Web Applications

Will be writing about them more as I go along and have an in depth knowledge about html 5. Till then, i’ll be wrapping up this post!

Keep learning!
