Introduction to HTML
The concept of HTML
When we learn HTML, we need to know what HTM is?
Long story short, HTML was invented by a scientist named Tim Berners-Lee. The purpose of his invention of HTML was to make it easier for scientists from different universities to access each other's research documents. HTML has achieved great success, far exceeding Tim Berners-Lee's original expectations. By inventing HTML, he laid the foundation for the World Wide Web as we
# know it today. HTML is a language that allows us to display information (such asscientific research information) on the Internet. The web page you see is the result of the
# browser interpreting HTML. To view the HTMLcode of a web page, just click View Source on the browser menu bar and select "Source File"
