You might know what the words "programming", "program language" or "code" mean, but the term "mark-up" may be new. Web pages are not like the general-purpose programs that you can run on your computer. Web pages contain specially formatted data that is displayed by your web browser. The special formatting is called "mark-up" and is mixed alongside the content you want to show on a web page.
In this course, you will learn how to take your data and mark it up so a web browser can display it on the screen. You can use mark-up to place a headline, make a new paragraph, put words in bold or italics, display a picture and so on.
What Does Mark-up Look Like?
The image below shows just a bit of the mark-up needed to display the home page of your first-semester project. Mark-up code is text-based, so you can use any text editor to view and change the code. By the end of this course, you will be able to write this yourself, understand what parts are visible to the reader, know why the invisible parts are there and determine how each part is used.
Web pages are written with the HyperText Mark-up Language or HTML for short. Several different versions such as HTML, HTML4, XHTML, and HTML5 have evolved over time. This is similar to the way your computer operating system has improved as new features or ideas are included in the next version.
For those of you who use a PC computer, you may have started out using Windows 7, then upgraded to Windows 8 or Windows 10. Similarly, Apple Mac computer users might remember version 10.5 of the operating system code-named Leopard, which was upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6), Lion (10.7), or Mountain Lion (10.8). With each upgrade to your operating system, you probably discovered new applications, tools, graphics and abilities.
HTML was first suggested in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee, a scientist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Tim and his fellow scientists needed an easy way to share scientific data and papers. Tim and other scientists gradually defined the first HTML standard through the early 1990's. Newer versions were defined as the demand for websites and the variety of information increased. The major versions of HTML described below.
The word "HTML" will be used to discuss mark-up in general throughout the course, since all versions of HTML share quite a bit of syntax and features. If an instruction is specific to a particular version such as HTML5, that version will be noted.
Web Browser Support
Web designers would like their pages to appear the same way, no matter what web browser you are using. For this reason, it's important to create web pages using well-recognized HTML standards. It is equally important that all web browsers support those standards in the same way.
If a web designer created web pages with unique HTML tags known only to one browser, then other users visiting a site with a different browser would not see the same effects. Similarly, if a web browser does not support one or more features in the HTML standards, then web pages written to those standards will not display correctly for those users. It's a joint effort between web developers and web browsers to use and support the same HTML standards so everyone visiting a website will have the same experience.
Other Mark-Up Languages
HTML is used for the display of information on websites. But the idea of mixing content with structured mark-up is not limited to the World Wide Web! Other mark-up languages exist to meet other needs. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is used to hold many kinds of information in a flexible format. XML is also a text document with a similar look and feel to HTML, but the syntax rules are slightly different and stricter. XML has been used to represent information in word processing and other business documents, mathematical notations, music, eBooks, vector graphics and many other useful applications.

2. What does HTML stand for?
3. What file extensions do HTML documents typically have?
4. What improvements did HTML4 have over the original HTML?
5. What was the purpose of XHTML?
6. What are the advantages of the latest standard: HTML5?
7. Why is it important for web designers and web browsers to agree on the same HTML standards?
8. What other kinds of mark-up languages exist, and how are they used?
1. Mark-up is the special formatting used on a web page to display content. It is used to place headlines, create paragraphs, format text, display images, and more.
2. HTML stands for HyperText Mark-up Language.
3. HTML documents typically have file extensions such as .html or .htm.
4. HTML4 introduced new features and ideas compared to the original HTML, improving the language.
5. XHTML was created to combine the advantages of HTML and XML, resulting in a stricter and more structured mark-up language.
6. HTML5 brings new features and capabilities to web development, such as improved multimedia support, enhanced form controls, and the ability to create more interactive and dynamic web pages.
7. It is important for web designers and web browsers to agree on the same HTML standards to ensure consistent and uniform rendering of web pages across different browsers and devices.
8. Other mark-up languages, such as XML, exist for various purposes. XML is used for holding flexible and structured information in different domains like word processing, business documents, mathematics, music, eBooks, and vector graphics.

Where did you get each information?
I apologize for the confusion. The information for each question is sourced from the given text.
1. Mark-up is the special formatting used on a web page to structure and display content. It is mixed alongside the content and allows for various formatting such as headlines, paragraphs, bold or italicized text, and images.
2. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.
3. HTML documents typically have the file extension ".html" or ".htm".
4. HTML4 had improvements over the original HTML, such as the ability to use style sheets for improved page layout and formatting, support for scripting and dynamic content, and the introduction of new structural elements.
5. XHTML was developed as a stricter and more standardized version of HTML. It combined the syntax and features of HTML with the strictness of XML.
6. The advantages of the latest standard HTML5 include enhanced multimedia support, improved semantics with the introduction of new elements, better handling of mobile devices, and improved accessibility and compatibility with different web browsers.
7. It is important for web designers and web browsers to agree on the same HTML standards so that web pages can be displayed consistently across different browsers. If web pages are designed using unique HTML tags specific to one browser, users accessing the website through different browsers may not see the intended effects. Similarly, if a browser doesn't support certain HTML features, web pages written to those standards may not display correctly. By using and supporting the same HTML standards, web designers and web browsers ensure a consistent experience for all users.
8. Other kinds of mark-up languages, such as XML (Extensible Markup Language), exist to meet different needs. XML is used to hold various types of information in a flexible format. It is used in word processing and business documents, mathematical notations, music, eBooks, vector graphics, and other applications that require structured representation of information.
1. Mark-up is the special formatting used in web pages to display content on a web browser. It is used to place headlines, create paragraphs, apply styling (such as bold or italics), display images, and more.
2. HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.
3. HTML documents typically have the file extension ".html" or ".htm".
4. HTML4 had improvements over the original HTML by introducing new features and elements, such as better support for scripting and multimedia.
5. The purpose of XHTML was to combine the flexibility of HTML with the stricter syntax rules of XML, creating a more standardized and well-formed mark-up language.
6. HTML5 has several advantages over previous versions of HTML. It introduces new features like native support for video and audio, improved forms and input types, canvas for creating dynamic graphics, offline storage capabilities, and enhanced accessibility options.
7. It is important for web designers and web browsers to agree on the same HTML standards to ensure that web pages appear consistently across different browsers. If browsers have different interpretations of HTML, the same web page may be displayed differently to users, leading to inconsistent user experiences.
