Exact meaning of the HTML?

HTML is an abbreviation of "HyperText Mark-up Language" - which is already more than you need to know at this stage. However, for the sake of good order, let us explain in greater detail.

* Hyper is the opposite of linear. In the good old days - when a mouse was something the cat chased - computer programs ran linearly: when the program had executed one action it went to the next line and after that, the next line and so on. But HTML is different - you can go wherever you want and whenever you want. For example, it is not necessary to visit MSN.com before you visit HTML.net.
* Text is self-explanatory.
* Mark-up is what you do with the text. You are marking up the text the same way you do in a text editing program with headings, bullets and bold text and so on.
* Language is what HTML is. It uses many English words.

 

Nice paragraph. I think I will sticky this.

 

I always did wonder what it stood for. nice explanation gerdonhanry.

 

When you write the HTML, think about how it will appear without using stylesheets at all. Some people do not use stylesheets, some people prefer text-only browsers and others must user text-only.

 

Nice review there gerdonhary. HTML is one of the best inventions in human history. Could it be considered invention?I guess it could be.right?

 

Mass literacy...lots of people able to read. in the middle of the sentence we see "the new expansion in literacy" is a good hint for what mass literacy means.

 

I already knew what HTML stood for, this is nothing new.

There are a couple of possibilities. To "finger" somebody is "tell on" that person. For example, if you knew that Mr. X committed a certain crime and the police were asking you about the crime and you "fingered" Mr. X you would be telling them he was the culprit.

 

HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant markup language for web pages. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms.
