Introduction to HTML

What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating and structuring web pages using tags and elements. It defines how content like text, images, and links appear in a browser.

It is a markup language, not a programming language.

This means it annotates text to define how it is structured and displayed by web browsers.

It is a static language, meaning it does not inherently provide interactive features but can be combined with CSS for styling and JavaScript for interactivity.
