HTML is soooo Cool :] !!! Com125 Assignment 2

Where it all began:
In the exciting world wide web there has been many creations. One of the webs most unique assets is HTML which stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Who is the creator of such a powerful thing? The found creator of HTML is Berners-Lee in 1991. HTML was first cited as a document called HTML Tags which describes twenty two elements comprising the initial design of HTML. Berner considered HTML to be a application of SGML which was not defined until mid-1993. HTML Working Group which in 1995 completed "HTML 2.0", the first HTML specification intended to be treated as a standard against which future implementations should be based.

General make up of HTML:
Let me break down what HTML means exactly. As I already stated, HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Hypertext is the ordinary text that has been dressed up with extra features, such as formatting, images, multimedia, and links to other resources. Markup is the process of taking ordinary text and adding extra symbols. Each of the symbols used for markup in HTML is a command that tells the browser how to display the text. HTML is written as labels known as tags which is surrounded by less than and greater than signs (<>). Your basically writing commands that the internet will decode and respond to. Someof the basic features for HTML would be chapter and section headings, paragraphs and text markup such as italics and bold to stress parts of text, unnumbered and numbered lists, tables, embedding of visible raster images into the text flow, links, which provide access to other web pages on the world wide web, and presentational language like CSS. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, which is a stylesheet language used by authors and readers of the web pages to define colors, fonts, layouts, and other aspects of document presentation.

Web viewing HTML style:
HTML highly dictates how people view their web page. People may see an HTML page as just numerous amounts of characters and text all complied next to each other on one page. The computer apparently sees the HTML code differently. The way HTML is shown is not the way it will look once its posted on the internet. It may look the this in HTML format, but once it's displayed on the web it appears different. Take a look!You can create HTML to create roll over buttons for certain links on your page, you can have specific things link to certain locations, you can insert images and create a photo album on your web page, and etc.. There are many neat things you can do with HTML.

HTML influence towards the internet:
HTML influenced the internet we use today greatly. I can't stress it enough how much we use HTML and some people probably don't even know their using it. Their are probably links you clicked on to get to this page that would be considered HTML. Thats just like how some people eat carrots and not know there good for your eyes. The internet would be much more difficult if there wasn't HTML. Like the headings I have written in bold letters are HTML. The things we can do with HTML today is amazing compared to what we used to know when HTML was first created. People should be very appreciative about what they have now and not take it for granted. I even created a couple of web pages in one of my class using HTML. Here is one of my websites.
