This workshop covers the very basics of HTML. HTML is only part of the EPUB (.epub) standard, but a significant one. Ensure that you understand the basics of HTML before delving into the basics of the EPUB standard. CSS is the language used to style HTML. We won’t have time to cover CSS formally, so any references to CSS (if needed) will be made during the practical exercise
* That can be understood by humans as well as by a computer. ** Called tags (or elements – in either case, note the term instructions).*** A document in both the concrete as well as abstract sense (see examples)

To understand the document type declaration, you need to understand the role that XML plays in the digital environment. This is beyond the scope of the workshop. If you’re familiar with XML, try this article:- http://webdesign.about.com/od/dtds/a/aa101700a.htm
HTML is also great as a tool to introduce students to markup languages in general. Other markup languages, such as SGML, RTF, XML and TEX, are useful in other information systems. For instance, XML is a markup language that can be used to create other markup languages.
Note the[citation needed] tag in the source. Nonetheless, I believe this statement is an apt way to describe the usefulness of HTML as a markup language to audiences that are familiar with working in a print environment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_language
