Html

Factual Questions
1

I’ve learned basic html. There is apparently other types of html, such as HTM c+ etc.
So, are they basically extensions of html, like for ex.

In HTML <img></img>
In C+ <img additionial codes …>
Is that it?

IIRC You can add some tags that give some description of the picture before it loads. I know you can do stuff in javascript and images. Is there anything you’re looking for in particular?

Oh, I know about adding the ALT tag… I’m just wondering, if I were to start working in other HTMl-ly type coders would the basic things like [h1 align=“right”] or [title] still be used.

C++ is completely unrelated to HTML, although C++ can generate HTML as part of a program.

HTML is basically a markup language. An HTML document contains tags that describe to a web browser how to display text and images (and other contents).

C++ is a programming language, like Java, Pascal, Perl, Python, and many, many others. It is used to create a great deal of the programs that run on your computer.

Ok…
But with other HTML type programs… can you do what i’m talking about…

What exactly are you trying to do, and what other “programs” do you have in mind? HTML isn’t a program, or a programming language. It’s a specification. The only other one I know of is XML, with which I’m unfamiliar, but perhaps someone else could chime in on their similarities.

Again, I ask, what’s your question?

7

Coding programs similar to HTML. ie coders that make sites.
Such as XML(I can’t recall some other examples).

HTML is just what it stands for: a markup language. Think “word processor”. It modifies the way text looks.

I recommend: http://www.w3.org/
That should answer more than you ever even wanted to ask.

\Thank you very much.

Bright Eyes…

Think of it this way… HTML as a markup language, doe not creat programs, it creates formatted webpages documents… This is analogous to you creating a document in MS Word and formatting it with colors and fonts - you did not ‘program’ a document, you just formatted it.

C++ is a programming language. it was used to create the application MS Word.

I think the OP refers to CSS, not C++.

CSS is Cascading Stylesheets, invented to complement HTML. You are supposed to use HTML for structural markups, and CSS for layouts.

12

Yeah, I suspected that, too. And, you’re welcome, Bright Eyes.

HTML is a simple language that tells internet browsers how to display web sites. It stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.

Hypertext is the ability to click words or images that take you to new pages - literally text that does things.
Markup refers to the design and format of the page itself, aligning text and images to make an appealing design.
