HTML, the beginning.

     Welcome back, to this place, my friend. Today, we will discuss about what is HTML. Let's begin shall we?

    What is HTML? HTML, a.ka HyperText Markup Language is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information that can be displayed in a web browser. Basically, it's the atoms of a web page or anything else that can be displayed in a web browser.

If you want to read more, you can go to here : Wikipedia

Let look for an example, shall we?

How about a simple table?
In HTML, there are two kinds of table, without cellpadding and with cellpadding.
Let's look at these codes :

<h4>without cellpadding:</h4>
<table border="1">
<tr>
 <td>First</td>
 <td>Row</td>
</tr>
 <td>Second</td>
 <td>Row</td>
</tr>
</table>

<h4>with cellpadding:</h4>
<table border="1"
cellpadding="10">
<tr>
 <td>First</td>
 <td>Row</td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td>Second</td>
 <td>Row</td>
</tr>
</table>


It will give us :


without cellpadding:

First Row
Second Row

with cellpadding:

First Row
Second Row


Niffty, isn't it? Now, I did said it's too show everything that web browser can. For example, browser games. Most of them are simple, but Runescape takes it to the next level.


Using HTML 5(The latest in HTML tech) technology, it creates a stunning real time MMORPG that seems impossible for web browser game.

In a nutshell, HTML is a language used to write web pages and a very widely used and useful one. Hope you guys enjoyed :)
