HTML doesn't actually tell a browser how to display text. Rather, HTML tells the browser the structure of a document. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the language used to tell the browser how that information should be displayed. In lieu of that, most browsers will add default formatting through CSS to plain HTML.
HTML communicates to the browser to define the page layout. It can tell the browser how and where to display text and other items on the page.
HTML is not a programming language but rather a interpreted language meaning that not all browsers see it the same. Therefore you cannot make HTML programs unless you are making an internet browser.
HTML code sends instructions to a browser defining the format of the page. For example, you can use the <b></b> tags to tell the browser to display something in bold text.
Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is the language used to tell a web browser how to display a web page.
In the body of the HTML file.
You can use the comment tags to include text in your HTML code that will not be displayed in the browser. Here is how you do that: <!-- Comment Text -->.
HTML is tag based because that is the way it was designed. Tags allow you to turn on and turn off formatting features that tell a browser how to display content. An example would be Text Here to display Text Here in a bold font.
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. An HTML document contains HTML code that shows a Web browser how to display the document content.
Hyper-Text Markup Language is used to tell the browser what to do. HTML programs webpages, without it your page would be text on a page.
If the browser can not interpret your content it will display the characters as plain text, just like you are reading here. If you use a character that the browser does not understand, the browser will ignore it or insert the closest ASCII equivalent character.
You can not create a browser using HTML--you would have to use some other programming language. In order to make a browser which can read HTML, you basically just need something that can correctly parse SGML and display it in an intelligent way--technically, to read HTML it doesn't even need to give the text the styles, an example is the text-only Lynx browser.
In HTML code you have static information being displayed (like text, images). Video, animation, forms require operations where some specific code is embedded (nested) in the HTML code, so as to display and run the video, display the animations and get the form results.
