HTML
To
publish information for global distribution, one needs a universally
understood language, a kind of publishing mother tongue that
all computers may potentially understand. The publishing language
used by the World Wide Web is HTML (from HyperText Markup
Language). HTML documents are plain-text (also known as ASCII)
files that can be created using any text editor (e.g., Emacs
or vi on UNIX machines; SimpleText on a Macintosh; Notepad
on a Windows machine). It is a non-proprietary format based
upon SGML, and can be created and processed by a wide range
of tools, from simple plain text editors - you type it in
from scratch- to sophisticated WYSIWYG authoring tools. HTML
uses tags such as <h1> and </h1> to structure
text into headings, paragraphs, lists, hypertext links etc.
HTML
gives authors the means to:
Publish
online documents with headings, text, tables, lists, photos,
etc.
Retrieve online information via hypertext links, at the click
of a button.
Design forms for conducting transactions with remote services,
for use in searching for information, making reservations,
ordering products, etc.
Include spread-sheets, video clips, sound clips, and other
applications directly in their documents.
