Practice Quiz 2

HTML is a mark-up, or formatting language. In fact, HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. You mark up text files with HTML tags so that they can be read over by browsing software. Tags are pieces of code surrounded by the symbols < ....> Browsers read tags when formatting HTML files on your screen. Documents available on the World Wide Web are HTML files.

HTML language is a specific set of tags that all browsers should interpret. HTML describes neither text or graphic elements nor their placement. HTML only tags the content of the file with certain attributes that are later defined by the browser.

HTML tags attribute type styles, insert graphics, sound, and video files in the text, and create hypertext links and forms. Hypertext is the most important capability of the HTML language. It means that any piece of text or graphic can link to another HTML document.

HTML documents consist of two basic parts: the head and the body. Both the head and the body use pieces of code called tags.

Some tags can be used by themselves, like <P>, the tag that ends
a paragraph. Other tags must be used together; for example, to style a first level heading requires opening and closing tags, <H1> and </H1> Closing tags contain a slash. Tags for linking files and creating forms require additional parts (also called arguments) to work properly. Tags for graphics also require additional parts like the file name and directions for alignment.
