The W3C was founded in October 1994 to lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing common protocols that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability. W3C is funded by Member organizations , and is vendor neutral, working with the global community to produce specifications and reference software that is made freely available throughout the world. HTML was invented by Tim Berners-Lee while at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva. An element is a fundamental component of the structure of a text document. Some examples of elements are heads, tables, paragraphs, and lists.
Elements can contain plain text, other elements, or both.
To denote the various elements in an HTML document, you use tags . Some elements may include an attribute , which is additional information that is included inside the start tag. HTML is not case sensitive. Not all tags are supported by all World Wide Web browsers. If a browser does not support a tag, it will simply ignore it.
