HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is used to design web pages using a markup
language. HTML is the combination of Hypertext and Markup language. Hypertext defines the link
between web pages. A markup language is used to define the text document within the tag which
defines the structure of web pages. HTML consists of a series of elements.HTML elements tell the
browser how to display the content. An HTML element is defined by a start tag, some content, and
an end tag.

HTML is a markup language used by the browser to manipulate text, images, and other content, in
order to display it in the required format. HTML was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991. The first-
ever version of HTML was HTML 1.0, but the first standard version was HTML 2.0, published in
1995.
