Web Pages are written in HTML – a simple scripting language.
HTML is short for Hypertext Markup Language.
· Hypertext is simply a piece of text that works as a link.
· Markup Language is a way of writing layout information within documents.
Basically an HTML document is a plain text file that contains text and nothing else.
When a browser opens an HTML file, the browser will look for HTML codes in the text and use them to change the layout, insert images, or create links to other pages.
Since HTML documents are just text files they can be written in even the simplest text editor.
