The World Wide Web is not a place, but rather a system of information storage and retrieval.
Information is accessed by the HTTP Protocol .
Each Web page will be a combination of information and links to other sources of information. Web pages are written in a hypertext language called HTML . This means that all characters in the file are readable and printable. There are no hidden formatting or control characters. HTML documents can be created by any simple word processor such as Windows Notepad or even the DOS editor.
