HTML
HTML is short for Hyper Text Markup Language, and it is the most widely used markup language for storing and broadcasting information on the [[world wide web]]. HTML can be used in conjunction with [[CSS]] and [[JavaScript]] to create a rich visual and interactive experience within a web browser.
HTML has gone through many revisions and current trends are leaning toward the total separation of data and presentation. What this means is that the information contained on a web page should be accessible by many devices, such as normal web browsers, handheld devices, [[search engine|search engines]], and browsing devices used by handicapped individuals. The [[World Wide Web Consortium|W3C]] has released recommendations for XHTML which is an XML-based version of HTML. It is more versatile and extensible than HTML, which is a subset of SGML.
