What is HTML used for?

HTML is one of the most commonly used language over the web. Let’s take a closer look at what the language can do.

  • Web Pages Development – HTML is used to create web pages which are rendered over the web. Almost every web page contains a set of HTML tags, including hyperlinks which are used for connecting to other pages.
  • Internet Navigation – Hypertext allows navigation. It is a text that references to another text or web page. When the user clicks on it, would navigate to referenced text or page.
 <a href="w3c.org"> Click me </a>
  • Responsive UI – Website or application is responsive when it looks good on all devices: mega-screens, desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones. <meta> tag is used on all pages to create a responsive website. In addition, images could be made responsive using width property in CSS(Cascading Style Sheet). Texts can also be made responsive by setting viewport width.
  • Offline Support – We know, internet connectivity is must to view web pages. However, web applications  may now be accessible even when we are not connected to the internet(means offline). HTML enables us to access the data offline. For this it uses a cache manifest file that allows the browser to automatically save the HTML file and all the other resources that needs to display the web page properly on the local machine.
  • Game Developments – Earlier game developments were specific to platforms like Flash. However, HTML5 offers many options and features for game development.
