- 6. Markup is what HTML tags do to the text inside them. They mark it as a certain type of text (italicized text, for example). HTML is a Language, as it has code-words and syntax like any other language.
- 7. What is the difference between a programming language and a markup language? Markup language by its definition “is a modern system for annotating a text in a way that is syntactically distinguishable from that text." For example, in HTML, you have your text. Then you have your Hyper Text Markup Language which defines how that text should look.
- 8. Programming language is designed to communicate instructions to a computer. So the main difference is that programming languages are designed to write programs and software. A markup language is designed to manipulate the content it's marking up, hence the term Markup Language.
- 9. How does HTML work? The HTML documents known by the file type .html or .htm are composed of its elements. These are its tags and its plain text. Tags are what separate normal text from HTML text. These tags are keywords surrounded by angle brackets like so: <html>.
- 10. Tags and Attributes HTML tags come in pairs, their opening tags and their closing tags, like so: <p> </p>. The start and end tags are what define a certain effect on the web page, and what is written between them is what the start and end tags make an effect on. Exception: Only has opening tags: some can only be like so: <br>.
- 11. Attributes provide additional information about the element. They are specified in the start tag with a name and its value, like so: <a href="http://www.w3schools.com">T his is a link</a>
