HTML is a “web” page presented as a file. In other words, this is a kind of file extension, as well as a markup language used on the World Wide Web.
With its help, we can not only view the content of sites, but also create “web” pages.
The language itself was created by an English scientist named Tim Berners-Lee. Its development was carried out in Geneva in the building of the European Center for Nuclear Research, around 1986 - 1991. Initially, HTML was supposed to be a language that would allow the exchange of technical and scientific documentation among ordinary people (that is, those who are not any specialists in the field of design layout). However, later, it became the basis for the “life” of the Internet.
HTML is a tagged markup language, thanks to which the average user can create a relatively simple, but at the same time beautifully designed document.
How to open a html file. Instructions.
Method number 1. Using a text editor.
If you need to make any changes to a file of this format, you need to open it using a text editor. This can be done using the standard Notepad program. But it is best to use the Notepad++ program. It allows you to quickly find the required “piece” of code, highlights syntax, is intuitive, and so on.
1. Before opening the html extension file, you need to download this program and then install it.
2. Now click on required file Right-click, hover over the "Open with" option and select "Notepad++". (If the program is located in the main menu, as shown in, then clicking on the “Open with” item is not necessary).
3. A window with a “code” will open in front of you, which you can now edit.
Method number 2. Using a web browser.
If you just want to view the file you downloaded/created, then . Moreover, it can be anything, be it Opera, Mozilla or Chrome.
Double-click on your file with the left mouse button. If nothing happens, then right-click on it and select the “Open with” option. Then select the required (most frequently used) browser from the pop-up menu.
In these simple ways you can both edit and open your html files.
The most common problem that prevents users from opening this file is an incorrectly assigned program. To fix this in Windows OS, you need to right-click on the file, in the context menu, hover the mouse over the “Open with” item, and select “Select a program...” from the drop-down menu. As a result you will see a list installed programs on your computer, and you can choose the appropriate one. We also recommend checking the box next to “Use this application for all HTML files.”
Another problem that our users also encounter quite often is that the HTML file is corrupted. This situation can arise in many cases. For example: the file was downloaded incompletely as a result of a server error, the file was damaged initially, etc. To resolve this problem, use one of the recommendations:
- Try finding the file you need in another source on the Internet. You may have luck finding a more suitable version. Example Google search: "File filetype:HTML" . Just replace the word "file" with the name you want;
- Ask them to send you the original file again, it may have been damaged during transmission;
- The computer determines the file type by its extension.
- By default, Windows does not show file name extensions.
- Some characters cannot be used in the file name and extension.
- Not all formats are related to the same program.
- Below are all the programs that can be used to open the HTM file.

Have you heard about html? Or maybe you've heard about html pages on the Internet? In fact, it's simple. HTML is, simply put, one of the programming languages, and not the most complex of them.
HTML is an abbreviation for HyperText Markup Language, which translates as hypertext markup language.
Content:
HTML is used to make pages on the Internet look exactly as you know them:
- beautifully designed texts,
- in bold or italics,
- just black or multi-colored,
- with active links to other pages of the site or blog,
- with, video, audio and many other interesting features.
Essentially, html is the backside of the pages of many sites. Often their beautiful design is created using the HTML markup language. Otherwise, this is also called creating pages using html layout.
Websites can also be created in other programming languages, for example, PHP.
British scientist Tim Berners Lee developed the HTML language in 1986-1991 in Switzerland. Essentially, html allows you to create simple, yet beautiful documents. Later, multimedia capabilities (video, etc.) and support for working with hypertext (for creating hyperlinks) were added to html.
Well-known browser programs were created to work with HTML, such as:
- Mozilla Firefox (Mozilla Firefox),
- Internet Explorer (Internet Explorer),
- Google Chrome (Google Chrome),
- Opera (Opera),
- Yandex browser,
- Safari and
- other.
Initially, the main function of the browser was precisely to interpret HTML code and display the visual result on the user’s monitor screen.
What is an html page?
Documents, files, pages created in the html language have the extension .html or .htm. For example, an html page (or html file, or html document) may have a name like:
- test.html,
- html,
- html or
- title.html.
Strictly speaking, test.html is the file name (or page name), where
- test is the file name, and
- .html is a file name extension (or page name extension) that is usually simply called "extension".
Nowadays, the word “format” has become a more common option instead of the word “extension”. Therefore, the expression “html format” means that the file (or page) is written in the html language and the name of such a file has the extension html. Means,
the file named test.html is in html format.
The Windows operating system hides file extensions (that is, file formats) by default. The programmers did this “not out of malice,” but in order to protect the user from thoughtlessly changing file extensions. You can make file extensions open by default. In Windows 7 to do this:
- click on the Start button,
- open the Control Panel,
- find Folder Options,
- open the View tab, scroll to the very bottom and
- uncheck the box next to the option “Hide extensions for known file types”,
- Click "OK".
Rice. 1. Open all file extensions If you now look up and look at the address bar of your browser, you will see there the name of the page you are currently reading, and at the end of the name there is .html. This is an example of an html blog page that is posted on the Internet. Usually a blog (site) has many html pages. For example, each article on this blog is a separate html page.
There are also one-page sites on the Internet, consisting of just one html page. For example it could be
- Internet business card of a person or company, or
- a page selling a product or service over the Internet.
The HTML language is constantly evolving and today there are several versions of it, starting from HTML 2.0 on September 22, 1995 and ending with the latest version of HTML 5 on October 28, 2014. HTML 5.1 is planned for release in September 2016.
What are HTML tags?
HTML is a language for marking up documents using tags. Tags are enclosed in triangular brackets “< >" Tags can be paired or unpaired.
- For example, the “b” tag enclosed in triangle brackets makes the text bold
text in bold
The result will look like this: text in bold
- And the “i” tag makes the text italic.
text in italics
As a result we get: text in italics
- There is also a tag for breaking the string “br”.
- Using the “a href” tag, a hyperlink is highlighted.
- Tag for document title – . This is the tag that opens the document. It is paired in the sense that it requires a closing tag with a slash.
- After the title comes the main part, which is located between the opening tag and closing tag. This tag, like the head tag, is a pair: you need to open it and remember to close it.
In paired tags, a closing tag with a slash is necessary because it cancels (more precisely, correctly completes) the action of the opening tag.
There are many HTML tags, and you can easily find HTML tutorials on the Internet.
