HTML:
HTML stands for
Hypertext Markup Language and these all come together to create and allow the
website to work. To start off, the Hypertext is the way you are able to move
around the website, and by clicking on the hyperlink, specific to that certain
page, it will take you to where you want to go as there is no order, allowing
the viewer to be in control. The HTML tags are what determine normal text to
HTML code, and markup helps the HTML tags to mark the text as a certain type of
text. The markup tags define how the text on a website should be presented, and
are encased within angle brackets, for example, <html> and normally are
used in pairs with an opening tag and a closing tag as the end, <b> and
</b>. The text between the markup tags are not case sensitive which
allows the designer to use uppercase to make the tags stand out from the rest
of the text. An example of html is when the information displayed in between
the <html and </html> tags describes the website, helping you build
the website whereas cascading style sheet determines the aesthetics of the
website, so the colours, font type as well as size and the mouse over effects
included on the website.
XHTML means
Extensible Hypertext Markup Language and even though it is similar to HTML it
is stricter than HTML as well as cleaner and is supported by all new main
browsers. It is made up of HTML and XML, and with the XML being designed to
describe data and HTML used to display data, they work together to produce more
dynamic websites as the designers of the site can customize and make their own
tags. Another advantage to combining HTML and XML is it allows websites to be
viewed on other platforms, such as mobile phones, tablets and consoles as these
can sometimes find it difficult to understand the certain language. Unlike the
HTML tags, all the information within the tags must all be lowercase. They must
always be closed at the end and once completed the website will be checked in
order to see if it works in any browser and will then go on to be published for
people to view it.
CSS:
Cascading Style Sheet
is a new feature to HTML that allows developers as well as users to have more
control over the display of the webpages and is the aesthetics of the website,
such as the typefaces, colours, background and page layout. Unlike the HTML and
XHTML is isn’t a Markup language but a style sheet language and describes the
appearance and arrangements of the document, which are written within the
markup language. The <div> tags, which means divider and this is where
all the instructions and the content are inputted into a box. The style, shape
and size of these boxes are then controlled and determined through the use of
style sheets.
