Did you ever thought to code a website?? If you thought then you may know about what are codes you should learn first.Thinking to code a website then HTML language is comes first.
HTML is a Programing language. It's works with Web Browsers. It is called the base of a website. HTML structured a website. For an example, it's like the back bone of Our Human body. Expect these,the websites are can't be created.
Introduction to HTML
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a simple markup system used to create hypertext documents that are portable from one platform to another. HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are appropriate for representing information from a wide range of applications. HTML markup can represent hypertext news, mail, documentation, and hypermedia; menus of options; database query results; simple structured documents with in-lined graphics; and hypertext views of existing bodies of information.HTML has been in use by the World-Wide Web (WWW) global information initiative since 1990. The HTML 3.0 specification provides a number of new features, and is broadly backwards compatible with HTML 2.0. It is defined as an application of International Standard ISO ISO8879:1986 Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). This specificiation will be proposed as the Internet Media Type (RFC 1590) and MIME Content Type (RFC 1521) called "text/html; version=3.0".
How to participate in refining HTML 3.0
The process of refining HTML 3.0 into a formal standard will be carried out by the IETF HTML working group. The World Wide Web Organization is continuing to develop a freeware testbed browser for HTML 3.0 ("Arena") to encourage people to try out the proposed features. The discussion list for HTML 3.0 is www-html with html-wg reserved for use by the IETF working group for detailed matters relating to the formal specification. The process for developing HTML 3.0 is open, and anyone who is interested and able to contribute to this effort is welcome to join in.Note: make mailing list names into hypertext links to their archives and add info on how to join these lists
HTML 3.0 Overview
HTML 3.0 builds upon HTML 2.0 and provides full backwards compatibility. Tables have been one of the most requested features, with text flow around figures and math as runners up. Traditional SGML table models, e.g. the CALS table model, are really complex. The HTML 3.0 proposal for tables uses a lightweight style of markup suitable for rendering on a very wide range of output devices, including braille and speech synthesizers.HTML 3.0 introduces a new element: FIG for inline figures. This provides for client-side handling of hotzones while cleanly catering for non-graphical browsers. Text can be flowed around figures and you can control when to break the flow to begin a new element.
Including support for equations and formulae in HTML 3.0 adds relatively little complexity to a browser. The proposed format is strongly influenced by TeX. Like tables, the format uses a lightweight style of markup - simple enough to type in by hand, although it will in most cases be easier to use a filter from a word processing format or a direct HTML 3.0 wysiwyg editor. The level of support is compatible with most word processing software, and avoids the drawbacks from having to convert math to inline images.
The Web has acted as a huge exercise in user testing, and we have been able to glean lots of information from the ways people abuse HTML in trying to get a particular effect; as well as from explicit demand for new features. HTML 3.0, as a result, includes support for customised lists; fine positioning control with entities like &emspace; horizontal tabs and horizontal alignment of headers and paragraph text.
Additional features include a static banner area for corporate logos, disclaimers and customized navigation/search controls. The LINK element can be used to provide standard toolbar/menu items for navigation, such as previous and next buttons. The NOTE element is used for admonishments such as notes, cautions or warnings, and also used for footnotes.
Forms have been extended to support graphical selection menus with client-side handling of events similar to FIG. Other new form field types include range controls, scribble on image, file upload and audio input fields. Client-side scripting of forms is envisaged with the script attribute of the FORM element. Forms and tables make for a powerful combination offering rich opportunities for laying out custom interfaces to remote information systems.
To counter the temptation to add yet more presentation features, HTML 3.0 is designed (but doesn't require) to be used together with style sheets which give rich control over document rendering, and can take into account the user's preferences, the window size and other resource limitations, such as which fonts are actually available. This work will eventually lead to smart layout under the author's control, with rich magazine style layouts for full screen viewing, switching to simpler layouts when the window is shrunk.
The SGML Open consortium is promoting use of DSSSL Lite by James Clark. This is a simplified subset of DSSSL - the document style semantics specification language. DSSSL is a ISO standard for representing presentation semantics for SGML documents, but is much too complex in its entirety to be well suited to the World Wide Web. Håkon Lie maintains a list of pointers to work on style sheets.
Transition Strategy from HTML 2.0
The use of the MIME content type: "text/html; version=3.0" is recommended to prevent existing HTML 2.0 user agents screwing up by attempting to show 3.0 documents. Tests have shown that the suggested content type will safely cause existing user agents to display the save to file dialog rather than incorrectly displaying the document as if it were HTML 2.0.To make it easy for servers to distinguish 3.0 documents from 2.0 documents, it is suggested that 3.0 files are saved with the extension ".html3" (or ".ht3" for PCs). Servers can also exploit the accept headers in HTTP requests from HTML user agents, to distinguish whether each client can or cannot support HTML 3.0. This makes it practical for information providers to start providing HTML 3.0 versions of existing documents for newer user agents, without impacting older user agents. It is envisaged that programs will be made available for automatic down conversion of 3.0 to 2.0 documents. This conversion could be carried out in batch mode, or on the fly (with caching for greater efficiency).
