Class 9: Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)


HTML also known as hypertext markup language is used to communicate among various computers with each other. In older version, it was originally called SGML, Standard Generalized Markup Language. However, the HTML has a fundamental capability, in which is its’ ability to make hyperlink. This is essentially what makes the web and webs can be viewed by anyone sharing the network or connected to the Internet. Without it, we would not have able to communicate through web.

There are several versions of HTML, in which all of the modern browsers can support all. There are Quirks mode, HTML 2.0, HTML 3.0, HTML 4.01, and HTML5. HTML 5 is in the working progress, supported by WHATWG and W3C. HTML is in a form of codes written in a text-file, in which the text is saved as html file, and finally can be viewed through a browser.

While the WHATWG is used in major browser implementations by big companies like Apple’s Safari, Google’s Chrome, and Mozilla’s Firefox,  HTML5 is the HTML Working Group of the W3C . Although it looks fairly easy to learn, it later can get very complex in creating a logical code in order for the computers or mobiles to read the command.
