Why Html?
HTML is the backbone of website design and function. It provides a structure for web pages that allows browsers to understand and display the content on the page. By understanding how HTML works, you can create better websites with more sophisticated features.
What is Html ?
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), is the markup language that is used to develop a web page. It’s a standard language that all web browsers understand. So, by using HTML, we can create pages that will look the same on any device or platform. In addition to basic text formatting options, HTML allows us to add images, videos, and other multimedia content to our pages. It also provides ways to control how your content is displayed and interacted with by users. So basically it consists of mainly two things:
1)Data Presentation
- User Interfaces
