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. Web pages are created
using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).

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.
In this chapter, you will learn about HTML5, the latest version of HTML used to create web pages.
You will also learn about HTML editors that are used to design web pages and how to view an HTML
document in a web browser.

Knowledge Discovery Subject Enrichment
A web browser is a software that retrieves HTML documents from the web, interprets the HTML statements,
and displays the resulting web pages. You can also use a web browser to display HTML documents saved
locally on your computer. Some popular web browsers that support HTML5 are Microsoft Edge, Mozilla
Firefox, Apple Safari, and Google Chrome.
