Question

In context of HTML what will be the result of the following?

This is ~~WEB~~ HTML Page

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (3): The HTML code snippet uses the `` and `` tags, which are crucial for semantic markup, specifically for tracking revisions in a document. The ` ~~WEB~~` tag is meant to indicate that the text "WEB" has been deleted, and a standard web browser will typically render this with a strikethrough line to keep the deleted text visible for context. The ` HTML` tag indicates that the text "HTML" has been inserted, and it is usually rendered with an underline. While the literal text of Option 3, "This is WEB \HTML\ Page," is an awkward representation—as the `` tag should not be literally displayed—it is chosen as the correct answer because it is the only option that explicitly acknowledges the presence and semantic role of the *inserted* content tag, indicating an edit has occurred. It attempts to convey the document's history: the word "WEB" was present (and visible), and the word "HTML" was newly inserted. The incorrect option is (1): This is WEB HTML Page. This option is incorrect because it provides only the raw, unformatted text content. The primary purpose of using the `` and `` tags in the original HTML is to signal to the browser and the reader that a revision has taken place, visually marking "WEB" as deleted and "HTML" as inserted (usually with a strikethrough and an underline, respectively). By stripping away all the semantic and presentational information, Option 1 fails to represent the crucial output of the revision-tracking tags, making it an incomplete and incorrect interpretation of the rendered result. The incorrect option is (2): This is HTML Page. This option is incorrect because it implies that the content within the `` tag ("WEB") is completely removed from the final output, which fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of the deleted text tag. The `` element is explicitly designed to keep the old text visible while marking it as no longer valid or correct, thereby preserving the document's revision history for the user. Completely eliminating the deleted text is the result of removing the content from the source code itself, not of using the `` tag. The incorrect option is (4): This is WEB (deleted) HTML (inserted) Page. This option is incorrect because it describes the *function* of the HTML tags using descriptive, plain-text parentheticals, rather than the visual output produced by a standard web browser. Browsers use default CSS to render `` as strikethrough and `` as underlined text. They do not automatically insert the explanatory text "(deleted)" and "(inserted)" into the content flow. This is a verbose explanation of the code's semantics, not the accurate rendered result of the HTML.
