Markup Languages SGML, the Standard Generalized Markup Language (1980), is a more powerful ancestor of XML. SGML is a text-based meta-language used to describe application languages. SGML is a text-based language that can be used to markup data – that is, add metadata – in a way which is self describing. Although SGML has many useful features, the complexity of SGML makes it extremely hard to use and learn. HTML, the HyperText Markup Language (1989), is one of the best known applications of SGML. HTML was defined to be a universal markup language for the display of information, and the linking of different pieces of information. The idea was that any HTML document (or web page) would be presentable in any application that was capable of understanding HTML (termed a web browser).

HTML HTML is the document formatting language used to design most Web pages. It is a simple, yet powerful, platform-independent document language. Originally developed by Tim Berners-Lee while at CERN but was standardized in November 1995. In early 2000, W3C produced XHTML 1.0 as a reformulation of HTML 4 in XML.

DHTML Consists of number of technologies freely available for download
Used for developing high-performance, Web-based applications Much of application’s work performed directly on client rather then on server or Internet Two versions Microsoft Netscape

W3C The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was started in 1994, according to their web site ( “to lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing common protocols that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability”. W3C produces recommendations which describe the basic building blocks of the web. HTML recommendation is the most famous contribution of W3C to the web. In 1998, W3C released recommendations for XML 1.0, XSLT, and XPath.

1 <?xml version = "1.0"?> 2 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" " 4 5 <!-- Fig. 4.4: header.html --> 6 <!-- XHTML headers > 7 8 <html xmlns = " <head> <title>Internet and WWW How to Program - Headers</title> </head> 12 <body> 14 <h1>Level 1 Header</h1> <h2>Level 2 header</h2> <h3>Level 3 header</h3> <h4>Level 4 header</h4> <h5>Level 5 header</h5> <h6>Level 6 header</h6> 21 </body> 23 </html> Header.html Every XHTML document is required to have opening and closing html tags. The font size of the text between tags decreases as the header level increases.
13
Program Output Select a header based on the amount of emphasis you would like to give that text.
14
Text between strong tags will appear bold.
1 <?xml version = "1.0"?> 2 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" " 4 5 <!-- links.html > 6 <!-- Introduction to hyperlinks --> 7 8 <html xmlns = " <head> <title>Internet and WWW How to Program - Links</title> </head> 12 <body> 14 <h1>Here are my favorite sites</h1> 16 <p><strong>Click on a name to go to that page.</strong></p> 18 <p><a href = " 20 <p><a href = " Hall</a></p> 22 <p><a href = " 24 <p><a href = " Today</a></p> 26 </body> 28 </html> Links.html Text between strong tags will appear bold. Linking is accomplished in XHTML with the anchor (a) element. The text between the a tags is the anchor for the link. Elements placed between paragraph tags will be set apart from other elements on the page with a vertical line before and after it. The anchor links to the page that’s value is given by the href attribute.

The height and width attributes of the image element give the height and width of the image. The value of the alt attribute gives a description of the image. This description is displayed if the image cannot be displayed.
21
Program Output The second image could not be displayed properly, so the value of its alt attribute is displayed instead.

An entry in the list must be placed between the <li> and </li> tags.
27
Program Output Each entry in the list is rendered on its own line with a bullet before it.
28
By inserting a list as an entry in another list, lists can be nested.
