What is the purpose of Web development tools? Why is it still important to know HTML, even when using these HTML creation tools?

What will be an ideal response?


Purpose of Web development tools:
HTML is powerful, but it can take a long time to enter all the tags by hand. Someone finally asked, "Is there any way to make HTML files simpler to create?" A few years after HTML became the standard way of communicating online, enterprising programmers created software tools that take the pain out of typing in all those angle brackets and tags.

Why it is important to know HTML, even when using HTML creation tools (student answers will vary):
- Ability to check code for errors
- Ability to make corrections
- Ability to customize beyond what the Web development editor will let you do
- Easier to just type in tags in some cases
- Important to know the logic and how things work behind the scenes (much like knowing how to add and subtract before using a calculator)
