FILE FORMATS / WEB

HTML - HyperText Markup Language is the main language that displays websites/pages or other information placed on the web. HTML is written in elements such as angled brackets like ( <html> )
html comes in paired tags such as <h1> and </h1>.

This is an example of an html format using tags and brackets :

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>

CSS - Cascading Style Sheets is used to describe the look and formatting of a document that is written in markup language. It supports the application of web pages written in HTML.

This is an example of using CSS.

Today i have been continuing with my web project and we have been
looking at file formats. We have been looking at these formats

FILE FORMATS

What is a .JPG ?

A jpg is a compressed colour image that can be reduced to about
5% of the original size but detail can be lost during the compression
causing the image to look pixelated.

What is a .TIFF ?

Tiff files can be any resolution and can also be black and white,
grey and scale and also colour. It supports high quality images.

What is a PNG ?

PNG is a file format that supports palette-based images. Creates
larger photo images than a jpeg.

What is a GIF ?

GIF Files are formats that can shrink the size of the files without
reducing the visual quality of the file.

What is a PDF ?

PDFs allow files to be sent to other applications or computers without
becoming damaged and they also keep the quality intact.
