Fundamentals of web technology: a comprehensive overview of HTML and CSS

Abstract

This article provides a foundational overview of core web technologies, focusing on HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). HTML, the standardized markup language, defines the structure and content of web documents, while CSS, the styling language, controls their presentation and visual appearance. This paper explores the fundamental principles of these technologies, including their specifications, tag categories, properties, and value types. By examining the roles of HTML in structuring web content and CSS in dictating its style, this article aims to provide a clear understanding of the essential components that underpin modern web development.
