    Overview of HTML

     Tim Berner Lee White at CERN, the European Laboratory invented HTML
     It is collection of platform independent style that defines the various components
    of WWW
     They wanted to set a documentation, in which one could mark the title, heading,
    font type selection etc. they called it as GML (General Markup Language)
     HTML is subset of a very complicated language called SGML (Standard Generalized
    Markup Language.)
     SGML is an international standard, which describes how to store text on computer
    and mark it up to add extra information

    Understand HTML
     HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language and is used to create web pages.
     Hypertext is a way of organizing information so readers can choose their own path
    through the material. Instead of clicking through sequentially organized pages, a
    hypertext user clicks specially highlighted text, called a hyperlink (or just a link for
    short), to go directly to information of interest.
     Markup Language you simply "markup" a text document with tags that tell a Web
    browser how to structure and display it.

    Structure of HTML
    This section describes the tags that indicate the basic structure of a web page.
    i. HTML Section: The html element acts as a container for the whole document. The
    html tag identifies a document as an HTML document. All Html documents should
    start with the <HTML> tag and end with the </html> tag.

    ii. Head Section: The HEAD tag defines an HTML document header. The HEAD
    section comes between a <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags. The web browser displays
    none of the information in the header, except for text contained by the TITLE tag.
    The HEAD tag can contain TITLE, BASE, ISINDEX, META, SCRIPT, STYLE, and LINK
    tags.

    iii. Body Section: The BODY tag specifies the main content of a document. You should
    put all content that is to appear in the web page between the <BODY> and </BODY>
    tags. You can specify the background color, image, even change the text color etc.
    using its attribute. You can specify actions to occur when the document finishes
    loading or is unloaded or when document receive or loses focus.

    Ex:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title> html page </title>
    </head>
    <body>
    Html content
    <body>
    </html>
    Output : html content
