HTML was developed in the 1980s and 1990s to standardize the coding languages used to design web pages. It originated from General Markup Language (GML) and Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) as a simpler language for displaying hypertext documents. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee designed HTML at CERN, establishing its core elements of text formatting and hyperlinks to connect web pages. HTML allows easy creation and modification of web pages through a standardized code that can display content across different platforms on the Internet.

2. In the contemporary world, Internet is the latest
buzzword. Internet is the network of millions of
computers connected all over the world. But have
you ever thought what lies behind a web page and
how it was designed ? We need a language to
design them. HTML is the most widely used

3. IBM sowed the
seed of HTML in
the early 1980s.
Initially it was
known as
GML(General Mark-
Up Language). In
1986 this concept
got standardized
by ISO and was
named as
SGML(Standard
Generalized Mark-
up Language). In
1989, Tim Berners-
Lee and his team
designed this
language and
named it as
HTML(Hyper Text
Mark-up
Language). The
language HTML
was modified many
HISTORY OF HTML

4. WHAT DOES HTML MEAN?
 HTML: It stands for Hyper
Text Mark-up Language. HTML
is a complete code package
that allows the user to create
web pages. Hyper links are the
highlighted text segments or
images that connect to other
pages on the web.
 LANGUAGE: It refers to the
way of communication
between web pages, which has
its own rules and syntax.
 HYPER TEXT: It is the text used
to link various web pages,
which on clicking opens a new
web page.
 MARK-UP: It means
highlighting the text either by
underlining it in different
colors, or both.

5. Easy to understand and
modify.
Provides a more flexible
way to design web pages
along with text.
Graphics, video and sound
can be used and imported
to give an attractive look.
Effective presentations can
be made using all
formatting effects.
CHARACTERISTICS OF HTML

6. Links can also be added to help
readers to browse through
information.
One can create and publish
web pages.
The web pages designed using
HTML are widely used in
marketing.
HTML documents can be
displayed on any platform,
such as windows etc….
