HTML

First developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, HTML is short for Hypertext Markup Language.

HTML is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web.

HTML is used to create electronic documents (called web pages) that are displayed on the World Wide Web.

Each web page contains a series of connections to other pages called hyperlinks.

HTML is definitely not a programming language but a mark-up language.

HTML5 was the fifth and last major version of HTML that is a World Wide Web Consortium recommendation.

It was released on 28th October 2014.

HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages.

HTML describes the structure of a Web page
HTML consists of a series of elements
HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content
HTML elements are represented by tags
HTML tags label pieces of content such as "heading", "paragraph", "table", and so on
Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to render the content of the page
