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 label pieces of content such as “header”, “paragraph”, “table”, etc.
Browsers do not display HTML tags, but use them to display page content.
Advantages and Disadvantages of HTML
Advantages
Easy to use
Loose syntax (although being too flexible will not comply with the standards)
HTML is pretty easy to write
HTML is that it is easy to code.
HTML also allows the use of templates, which makes it easier 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 increasingly used for data storage.
Free: you don’t need to buy any software
Easy to learn and code even for novice programmers
Disadvantages
It cannot produce dynamic results alone, since it is a static language.
Sometimes the structuring of HTML documents is difficult to understand.
Mistakes can be costly.
The time it takes to choose a page’s color scheme and create lists, tables, and
forms
You 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You need to keep up with outdated tags and make sure you don’t use them. Deprecated tags appear because another language that works with HTML has replaced the original work of the tag; therefore 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 a file extension of htm or html
