Web page

A Web page or webpage is a "page" of the World Wide Web, usually in HTML/XHTML format (the file extensions are typically htm or html) and with hypertext links to enable navigation from one page or section to another. Web pages often use associated graphics files to provide illustration, and these too can be clickable links. A web page is displayed using a web browser.

Viewing a web page

Since most web pages are mostly text, you can view them in any application that can read text documents. However, to view a web page, as it is intended, one needs a type of software known as a user agent or better still a web browser, which is a piece of software specifically designed to view web pages. There are many different types of web browsers available with various capabilities and a wide range of supported platforms.
