what is HTML?

Now first of all what is HTML even and where does HTML stand for. This might not seem that important to you but in my opinion learning a 'language' isn't all about speaking it but about it's history as well. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It was developed by Tim Berners-Lee and his team at CERN, they published the first version of HTML in 1993. Tim Berners-Lee is currently the director of the World Wide Web Consortium, a group that sets technical standards for the web. HTML is a script that customizes posts by using tags, elements and attributes. To simplify the meaning, it's the language you use to create codes that can customize pages on the web.

basic rules. 

» A wattpad comment is ±440px width, make sure your images, layout or basically anything else isn't bigger than ±440px in width, or the comment will look weird.

» A wattpad comment has an word limit of 2000 characters, keep in mind that this includes both the coding and visible text.

» The codes only work in the clubs on wattpad and are most common in the multimedia design club (mdc).

» <adding text between brackets like this will make the text invisible.>

» The web browser you use effects the spacing and fonts in a design, viewers with different browsers may see your codes a little bit different to say the least,

» On Wattpad only the basic HTML tags are supported. Opacity, hover links etc. that you might see on tumblr are not supported.

terms.

» Angle brackets are < and > they enclose all HTML tags

» Attributes are used to modify tag properties within elements specified in the start tag. Attribute names are followed by an equal (=) sign and quotation marks (" ") encase all attribute values which are divided by semicolons (;). i also like to refer to them as containers as they 'contain' these value.

» Elements are everything between the start and end tag, including the plain text content and the tags themselves.

» Tags are HTML scripts within a set of angle brackets that correspond to a specific formatting based on enclosed attributes.
