Hypertext Markup Language
Hypertext Markup Language or more commenly known as HTML is a fairly simple language made up of elements. These elements can be applied to pieces of text to give them different meaning in a document (is it a paragraph? is it a bulleted list? is it part of a table?), structure a document into logical sections (does it have a header? three columns of content? a navigation menu?) and embed content such as images and videos into a page. HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages and HTML elements are represented by tags. Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to render the content of the page. When a browser opens an HTML file, the browser will look for HTML codes in the text and use them to change the layout, insert images, or create links to other pages.
