            Internet  is  the  primary  medium  for  obtaining  information  in
            the  modern  world.  We  access  the  information  on  the  Internet
            through websites on the World Wide Web (WWW). A website is a
            collection of related web pages. A web page is a file that contains
            information in the form of text, graphics, audio, and video.

            WHAT IS HTML?
            Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a computer language used for creating web pages in the form
            of HTML documents. It describes the content, format, and layout in which a web page should be
            displayed over the World Wide Web (WWW).
               •  Hypertext : Hypertext is the method to move from one web page to another on the WWW. It is
                  in the form of links, called hyperlinks, which, when clicked, open a new web page. A hyperlink
                  can be in the form of text or graphic.
               •  Markup : Markup is the process of adding extra features to ordinary text. It lets you add certain
                  commands or tags to your document to instruct a web browser how the content in your web
                  page is to be displayed.

            FEATURES OF HTML5
            HTML5 provides new and better features over previous versions of HTML. Some of these are:
              1.  Empty tags can be closed with end tags.
              2.  HTML5 has in-built support for inserting audio and video content in a web page.
              3.  It  incorporates  graphics  features  such  as  CANVAS  that  let  you  create  shapes,  graphs  and
                  animations in a web page.
              4.  It supports dynamic drag and drop of elements within a web page.
              5.  HTML5 supports CSS to create multiple web pages with the same formatting features.

            HTML EDITORS
            An HTML Editor is a software that allows you to create web pages in HTML. There are two types of
            HTML editors – WYSIWYG and Text.
               •  WYSIWYG Editors: WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. WYSIWYG editors allow
                  to create web pages without any knowledge of HTML. These provide a graphical interface and
                  tools to develop a web page and insert images, tables, audio, and video in it. Some popular
                  WYSIWYG editors are Google Web Designer and Adobe Dreamweaver.
