The browser architecture is composed of the controller and the interpreters to display a Web document on the screen. The controller can be one of the protocols such as HTTP, FTP, Gopher or TELNET. The interpreter can be HTML or Java, depending on the type of document.
The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a language used to create Web pages. A markup language such as HTML is embedded in the file itself, and formatting instructions are stored with the text. Thus, any browser can read the instructions and format the text according to the workstation being used. Suppose a user creates formatted text on a Macintosh computer and stores it in a Web page, so another user who is on an IBM computer is not able to receive the Web page because the two computers are using different formatting procedures. Consider a case where different word processors use different techniques or procedures to format text. To overcome these difficulties, uses only ASCII characters for both main text and formatting instructions. Therefore, every computer can receive the whole document as an ASCII document. Web page.

Web page consists of two parts: the head and body. The head is the first part of a Web page. The head contains the file of the page and other parameters that the browser will use. The body contains the actual content of a page. The body includes the text and tags (marks). The text is the information contained in a page, whereas the tags define the appearance of the document.

Tags are marks that are embedded into the text. Every HTML tag is a name followed by an optional list of attributes. An attribute is followed by an equals sign (=) and the value of the attribute. Some tags are used alone; some are used in pairs. The tags used in pairs are called starting and ending tags. The starting tag can have attributes and values. The ending tag cannot have attributes or values, but must have a slash before the name. An example of starting and ending tags is shown below :

< attribute =" Value" attribute =" Value"> (Starting tag)
<> (Ending tag)
A tag is enclosed in two angled brackets like and usually comes in pairs as and . The starting tag starts with the name of the tag, and the ending tag starts with a backslash followed by the name of the tag. A tag can have a list of attributes, each of which can be followed by an equals sign and a value associated with the attribute.

This is what all about the HTML. The protocols are set of rule for working.
