What is HTML? Advantage and disadvantage of HTML
What is HTML?
Hypertext Markup Language, a standardized system for tagging text files to achieve font, color, graphic, and hyperlink effects on World Wide Web pages.
HTML is the standard markup language for creating web pages.
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language.
HTML describes the structure of web pages using markup
HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages.
HTML elements are represented by tags
HTML tags tag pieces of content like “heading”, “paragraph”, “table”, etc.
Browsers don’t display HTML tags, but use them to render the content of the page.
Advantages and disadvantages of HTML
Advantages
Easy to use
Loose syntax (although being too flexible will not be standards compliant)
HTML is pretty easy to write
HTML is that it is easy to code.
HTML also allows the use of templates, which makes it easy to design a web page.
Very useful for beginners in the field of web design.
Compatible with almost all browsers, if not all browsers.
Widely used; established on almost all websites, if not all websites.
Very similar to XML syntax, which is used more and more for data storage.
Free: no need to buy any software
Easy to learn and code even for novice programmers
Disadvantages
You can’t produce dynamic results alone, as it is a static language
Sometimes the structuring of HTML documents is difficult to understand.
Mistakes can be expensive.
The time it takes to choose the color scheme of a page and create lists, tables and
forms
It can only create static and simple pages, so if we need dynamic pages, HTML is not useful.
I need to write a lot of code to make a simple web page.
You need to keep up with outdated tags and make sure you don’t use them. Stale tags appear because another language that works with HTML has replaced the original tag job; so the other language needs to be learned (most of the time, it’s CSS)
The security features offered by HTML are limited.
What is an HTML file?
HTML is a format that tells a computer how to display a web page. The documents themselves are plain text files with “tags” or special codes that a web browser uses to interpret and display information on your computer screen.
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language.
An HTML file is a text file that contains small markup tags.
Markup tags tell the web browser how to display the page
An HTML file must have an htm or HTML file extension
