Lecture 4 Notes

The HTML Markup Language
• HTML is a language of tags. Think of tags as instructions written in a text document (ASCII) such as Notepad, SimpleText or Pico.
• Tags are always enclosed in angle brackets: <>.
• Tags can be thought of as 'containers', because there is usually an opening tag <> and a closing tag .
• Some tags are not containers, though. They are empty elements. These stand-alone tags include the line break and the image tag.
