Abstract

In the beginning of the Internet days, software programmers developed all Web pages. Today, the Web provides perhaps the simplest way to share information, and literally everyone writes Web pages, with the help of authoring tools, and a large number of organizations disseminate data coded in Web pages. The Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is typically the language used to code information about renderization (font size, color, position on screen, etc.) and hyperlinks to other Web pages or resources on the Web (multimedia files, text, e-mail addresses, etc.).
