HTML HTML [Hyper Text Markup Language] is the computer language used for making webpages, like Wikipedia for example. There are multiple page-making languages, including XHTML, XML, PHP, and Plankalkül (though XHTML, XML, and Plankalkül seem to never be used, XML may be for some basic websites built by old timers.

HTML has Some Basic elements. Those basic elements are the DOCTYPE, html, head, title, body, div, h1, p, and the closing tags. Here is the basic HTML for a basic webpage (what the webpage would look like I will show afterwards): ≤!DOCTYPE html≥ ≤html≥ ≤head≥ ≤title≥≤/title≥ ≤/head≥ ≤body≥ ≤div class="content"> ≤h1≥≤/h1≥ ≤p≥≤/p≥ ≤/div≥ ≤/body≥ ≤/html≥

That was a very basic HTML webpage template. This is what should turn up:

Nothing, right? This is because we put nothing in the title, h1, or p tags. Let's make a very similar template, but with acual content:

≤!DOCTYPE html≥

≤html≥

≤head≥

≤title≥≤/title≥

≤/head≥

≤body≥

≤div class="content"≥

≤h1≥Head Example≤/h1≥

≤p≥Paragraph Example≤/p≥

≤/div≥

≤/body≥

≤/html≥

And what it looks like: Head Example Paragraph Example

History Now that you have a basic idea of how to do some HTML, let's actually learn about it! Creator  Tim Berners-Lee  When it was made  1990
