HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is a standard markup language used to create web pages. HTML is used to display readable text, images, links, and other content in a web browser. An HTML document uses tags and attributes to structure text content, embed images and media files, add links, create form fields, and specify other web page elements.
HTML is used structurally to define content and instruct browsers on how to display web pages. Tags specify how content should be formatted and arranged. For example, the <p> tag denotes a paragraph, while the <img> tag specifies an image.
HTML is combined with other web technologies like CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript to create more complex and interactive websites. CSS is used to control the appearance and layout of web pages, while JavaScript adds interactive features to web pages.
The latest version of HTML is HTML5, which provides web developers with more semantic tags, richer media support, and better performance.
