What is HTML?
Introduction to HTML
Although the knowledge of HTML is not necessary for developing ASP.NET 2.0 pages, it is certainly helpful if we can use and understand basic HTML. In this section, we are going to learn the fundamentals of the HTML in brief.
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is not a programming language like C# or VB.NET. It is a formatting language, used for displaying content in the browser. The browser understands how to display a page created in HTML.
Several versions of HTML are available. A newer version adds more functionality to than an older version. XHTML is the next version after HTML version 4.1. XHTML modifies the HTML in a way that it becomes more compact and follows stricter rules. However, most of the elements of HTML remain the same in XHTML.
