A webpage is "designed" using HTML. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.

HTML File



* An HTML file has an extension of htm or html.

* When you go to a website and if that website fethes a page with html or htm extension, then it is getting an html file from server and displaying it in a browser.

* The html file is a simple text file.

* You can create the html files at your own computer using simple text editor and view it.

* You will think that you need a server where you need to upload a html file and then you can view it at the browser. No this is not the case. You create edit and view the html file locally.

* An html file contains markup. A markup tag is a start and and end indicator, that tells how to format the text. FOr example a text between <b> and </b>will be in bold letters.
