The Reinvention of Laura Kretzer

HTML/XML Class

My mother started working with computers when they were so large that one computer took up an entire room. I remember listening to her talk about computers when I was young and I used to think, "She's speaking a different language."

Well, she was speaking a different language, the language of computer programming code.

And so am I. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, which is the language that the internet uses to describe a documents content. To make a printed document pleasing to the eye and more readable, the printer might use a specific text font, size or layout. The person reading the document does not see the information about the layout only the resulting page. In the same way, HTML coding within a web document tells the browser how to present the layout of the web document.
