Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

The basic language of the the Web is the HyperText Markup Language (HTML).

  • HTML is designed to be platform-independent (make few assumptions about the abilities of the computer and software used to view the page)
  • HTML is an open standard (non-proprietary), developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
  • Each version of HTML adds new commands to previous versions - commands are seldomly dropped
  • HTML itself loads very quickly, since it consists only alphanumeric characters, punctuation, and spaces
