Study Notes
Understanding HTML and Web Technologies
- HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language; it's the standard language for creating web pages.
- Web pages are essentially text files that contain HTML, describing document structure and formatting.
- Every web address is accessed via a URL (Uniform Resource Locator).
- Browsers are software programs that render web pages, utilizing client/server architecture through the HTTP protocol.
The Structure and Purpose of HTML
- HTML allows the use of headers, paragraphs, images, and hyperlinks to describe web content.
- It emphasizes the importance of structure and semantics rather than appearance, as HTML only lays out the framework of content.
- The HTML declaration at the top of an HTML document specifies the document type for proper browser display, crucial for correctness.
Evolution of HTML Versions
- HTML has undergone several iterations:
- HTML introduced in 1991
- HTML 2.0 in 1995
- HTML 3.2 in 1997
- HTML 4.01 in 1999
- XHTML in 2000
- HTML5 in 2014
- XHTML is stricter than HTML, requiring elements to be case-sensitive and properly closed.
Key Differences Between HTML and XHTML
- XHTML mandates lowercase tags and closed tags; HTML is less strict and tolerates missing closing tags.
- Many attributes were deprecated in XHTML and transitioned to CSS.
- XHTML can be processed faster by browsers than HTML when utilizing valid code.
Creating HTML Pages
- HTML files must have a .html or .htm extension for proper recognition.
- HTML documents can be created using simple text editors like Notepad or advanced WYSIWYG editors like Microsoft FrontPage and Visual Studio Code.
- Choosing the right text editor can enhance the ease of creating web documents, with various tools available for different user needs.
