</html>Html is a markup language that defines the structure of the content
of a webpage. It is based on SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) and
uses opening/closing tags to give organization to otherwise meaningless text:
<p>hi</p>
The language underwent many changes until 2008, when it was standardized as its current form: HTML5
Some tags that HTML provides:
<video></video> — to handle video media<audio></audio> — to handle audio media<canvas></canvas> --- to handle self-drawn graphicsHTML files contain a hierarchy of nodes based on the DOM (Document Object Model):
<html> — root element<head> — element
<title> — element
"My title" — text<body> — element
<a> — element (anchor tag)
href="" — attributeHTML works in conjunction with CSS and JavaScript to provide complete websites.
