WHAT IS HTML ?

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. This markup language is used to create web documents. A web document is viewed in a web browser, like the one you are using to read this document.


As you learn HTML, you will discover that different browsers may display the same web page differently. Why? Simply put, there is a portability issue with the kinds of computers like Windows, UNIX, and Macintosh. Thus depending on the type of computer and/or browser you are using will determine how the web page is displayed. To overcome this portability issue, a web page author could use style sheets to make page compatible with more computers.


Combining <font> tag attributes


<font size="5">
<font color="yellow">
<font face="arial">
Some text
</font>
</font>
</font>
Specifying individual attribute with separate <font> tags is insufficient as the browser has to process these extra tags. Additionally, it is confusing and long. Instead of individually specifying the size, color, or face of a font, you can combine all three into one <font> tag:
<font size="5" color="yellow" face="arial">Some text</font>.
