The hypertext markup language, commonly referred to as HTML is at the backbone of the internet and World Wide Web. It is the standard markup language used in the creation of webpages and was released in 1993 at the advent of the internet. The format defines the structure and layout of a webpage through markup tags such as header tags and image tags from which a browser can interpret multimedia information for on screen presentation. To view files and webpages saved with the .html filename extension, one needs a compatible web browser that implements the HTML specification. Because the format is open source, several browsers which are mostly free to use can open such files. The World Wide Web consortium actively maintains and updates the html specification.
The .tcr filename extension is a compressed text file format for eBooks and text associated with eBook reader software developed by Psion, a London based techonology company. The format has its beginnings in the early 90's and was designed for use on the PDAs released by the company, particularly the Series 3 handheld PDA. Though the format is proprietary and was intended for exclusive use on Psion devices, today, a few eBook reader applications can open files encoded in this format. As PDAs eventually lost there popularity, the format was discontinued when Psion eventually pulled out of the PDA market.

The internals of an html file are a structure of nested html elements represented as language specific tags enclosed in angle brackets for example '<title>'. There are several of these tags each with their own representative meaning in the html markup language. The html specification relies on the hypertext transfer protocol to distribute .html files over a network such as the internet. However, .html files can also be distributed as embedded content within an email.
The TCR format boasted of better compression of files saved in this format in comparison to its closest rival at the time, PalmDoc. The format is an adaptation of the ZVR text file viewer format developed for Psion, but incorporates the compression algorithms used in the TCReader program which was faster than that used on the ZVR format. The company claimed a 50% on average saving in memory storage after compression to TCR.
