What is html & Do I Need to Learn It to Run a Website?
html is the acronym for HyperText Mark-up Language.
Oookay! You are thinking. That helped a lot. What to heck is HyperText Mark-up Language.
html is the code (or language) that tells your browser how to display a page – paragraph breaks, fonts, tables, forms, images, etc. If you ever look at the source code for a web page it is the stuff between the angle brackets <>. That’s the Mark-up part.
HyperText is the geeky way of saying there are links to other documents.
Do you need to learn it to run your website?
No. Not the code part anyway.
There are lots and lots of programs out there that will write the code for you. In fact, many of the programs you already use may be using html or have an option to save as html.
html is now the most common way to transfer information – between people or between different programs on your computer.
