    HTML is "short for HyperText Markup Language, the authoring language used to create documents on the World Wide Web. HTML is similar to SGML, although it is not a strict subset.

     

    HTML defines the structure and layout of a Web document by using a variety of tags and attributes. The correct structure for an HTML document starts with <HTML><HEAD>(enter here what document is about)<BODY> and ends with </BODY></HTML>. All the information you'd like to include in your Web page fits in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.

     

    There are hundreds of other tags used to format and layout the information in a Web page. Tags are also used to specify hypertext links. These allow Web developers to direct users to other Web pages with only a click of the mouse on either an image or word(s). For a more complete list of tags, check out some of the URLs below."

      Sarah DeAtley:It might be useful to link or reference the W3C, as it generally set the standards that people should use when writing HTML.
      Matthew Goddard:I think the difference Elizabeth points out is important for answering questions like Leela's above. As I understand them, it doesn't make sense to talk of XML supplanting HTML, because they perform two distinct functions. XML isn't interested in display, and HTML isn't interested in logical relationships.
      Elizabeth Mitchell:Regarding the difference between XML and HTML, I'm interested in the point that Bob Boiko made: that XML tags explain what the content IS, whereas HTML tags indicate how it should LOOK (and in so doing, add meaning in the form of context).
