origin

Hypermedia documents on the World Wide Web are called page. As an organization or an individual, a page with a starting point on the World Wide Web is called a Homepage (foreign language: home page) or a home page, which usually contains pointers (hyperlinks) to other related pages or other nodes.

The so-called hyperlink is a uniform resource locator (URL) pointer. By activating (clicking) it, the browser can easily get a new web page. This is one of the most important reasons why HTML is widely used.

Logically speaking, an organic collection of a series of pages regarded as a whole is called a website or site. Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language designed for "Web page creation and other information that can be seen in web browsers".

The essence of web pages is hypertext markup language. By combining other web technologies (such as scripting languages, common gateway interfaces, components, etc. ), you can create powerful web pages.

Therefore, Hypertext Markup Language is the basis of World Wide Web (Web) programming, which means that the World Wide Web is based on hypertext. Hypertext Markup Language is called Hypertext Markup Language because the text contains so-called "hyperlink" points.
