What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is not a programming language. It is a markup language that tells web browsers how to structure the web pages you visit. Provides access to a large amount of functionality that is already built into the browser. HTML consists of a series of elements, which you use to enclose, wrap, or mark up different parts of content to make it appear or act in a certain way. The enclosing tags can make content into a hyperlink to connect to another page, italicize words, and so on. For example, consider the following line of text:

My cat is very grumpy

If we wanted the text to stand by itself, we could specify that it is a paragraph by enclosing it in a paragraph <p> element:

<p>My cat is very grumpy</p>
