What is HTML?

HTML is an acronym that stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is used for creating web pages and web applications. Let's see what is meant by hypertext markup language and web pages.

Hypertext: HyperText simply means "text within text." A text that has a link within it is a hypertext. Whenever you click on a link that brings you to a new webpage, you have clicked on a hyperlink. HyperText is a way to link two or more web pages (HTML documents) with each other.

Markup language: A markup language is a computer language that is used to apply layout and formatting conventions to a text document. The markup language makes the text more interactive and dynamic. It can turn text into images, tables, links, etc.

Web Page: A web page is a document that is commonly written in HTML and translated by a web browser. A web page can be identified by entering a URL. A web page can be static or dynamic. With the help of HTML alone, we can create static web pages.

Hence, HTML is a markup language that is used for creating attractive web pages with the help of styling that looks nice in a web browser. An HTML document is made of many HTML tags, and each HTML tag contains different content.
