- HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create web pages and web applications. It uses tags to define headings, paragraphs, tables and other page elements.
- Web browsers receive HTML documents and render them into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the semantic structure of a web page and originally included cues for appearance.
- Common HTML tags like <p> and <h1> are used to define paragraphs and headings. Tags normally come in pairs and the end tag includes a forward slash before the tag name.
