 hypertext markup language: a set of tags and
rules (conforming to SGML) for using them
in developing hypertext documents
 HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup
Language, is the predominant markup
language for web pages. It provides a means
to create structured documents by denoting
structural semantics for text such as
headings, paragraphs, lists etc as well as for
links, quotes, and other items. ...

course called Introduction to HTML. The
course is recommended for web publishers.
 A simple mark-up and formatting language
for text, with links to other objects, used
with the web.
 The common scripting language for
interchange of hypertext between the world
wide web client and server. Web pages must
be written using HTML.
 is a computer programming language that
allows people to create links on the world

 Hypertext Markup Language is the tags used

 HyperText Markup Language, a computer
"language" used to define the appearance
and functions of websites and their pages.

 HTML is a simple mark-up language used to
create hypertext documents that are can be
read on any computer. HTML documents
are SGML documents.
 Computer language to create web
documents, provides instructions that tell the
browser how to display pages.
 Many people use the
terms Internet and World Wide
Web (aka. the Web) interchangeably, but in
fact the two terms are not synonymous. The
Internet and the Web are two separate but
related things.
 What is The Internet?
The Internet is a massive network of
networks, a networking infrastructure. It
connects millions of computers together
globally, forming a network in which any
computer can communicate with any other
computer as long as they are both connected
to the Internet. Information that travels over
the Internet does so via a variety of
languages known as protocols.
 What is The Web (World Wide Web)?
The World Wide Web, or simply Web, is a
way of accessing information over the
medium of the Internet. It is an information-
sharing model that is built on top of the
Internet. The Web uses the HTTP protocol,
only one of the languages spoken over the
Internet, to transmit data. Web services,
which use HTTP to allow applications to
communicate in order to exchange business
logic, use the the Web to share information.
The Web also utilizes browsers, such
as Internet Explorer or Firefox, to access
Web documents called Web pages that are
linked to each other via hyperlinks. Web
documents also contain graphics, sounds,
text and video.
 The Web is just one of the ways that
information can be disseminated over the
Internet. The Internet, not the Web, is also
used for e-mail, which relies
on SMTP, Usenet news groups, instant
messaging and FTP. So the Web is just a
portion of the Internet, albeit a large portion,
but the two terms are not synonymous and
should not be confused.

Summary:

1. The Internet is collective name of all the devices that

consist the global network

2. The World Wide Web is a common name for HTTP

which is one of the protocols running on the Internet

3. There are other services that are running on the Internet

aside from the WWW

4. The Internet and the World Wide Web are not

synonymous although most users treat them as such.
