HTML & CSS Templates
HTML CSS General
HTML is the language in which you write documents (homepages or web pages), which can be viewed on the World Wide Web.
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language:
Hypertext is the technique by which a connection (a link) is established for example to another document, an image or a sound recording.
Markup is the use of code to browse, a program that allows HTML documents to be viewed, to tell how the contents of the document should be, and to which destination hyperlinks should lead.
HTML was originally developed to send information via hypertext-documents open for multiple platforms (Windows, Macintosh and Unix). When displaying HTML documents, this was not about beauty, fully established by the author layout. The starting point was that the information was send in a clear structure to a visitor with heads,different weights and paragraphs.
With the increasing use of the Internet the Web authors created additional options in the formatting of documents. With this need developers of browsers (Netscape and Microsoft) responded by introducing new elements and attributes. Some of these elements and attributes were widely accepted, while other elements remained limited to support a single browser. Web authors used their own creativity within the existing possibilities to get greater influence in the HTML format of their documents. Examples are the use of tables to content on a specific place to get and convert text into an image. The intertwining of structure and presentation that this creates, means that it is no longer certain that a document looks good in every browser on every platform.
To resolve this problem stylesheets where introduced. The idea is the separation between structure and presentation: HTML for the structure of the document, the presentation is determined using style sheets defined styles.
The language used for stylesheets is Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The final specification for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS 2) contains a large number of possibilities for the layout of HTML documents and in future versions this number will only increase.
These are the basics for VisualWebWork template developedment.
