HTML The Language of the Web

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is used to create web pages.

With HTML code and the World Wide Web it enables people to bring together text, pictures, sounds and links on a web page. HTML code files are in plain text and therefore can be composed and edited on any computer, Windows, Mac, UNIX etc.

A web browser reads an HTML page from a remote web server then displays a formatted page to the viewer.

The source HTML for any webpage can be viewed by clicking 'View' on the menu bar and then click on 'Source'. This then shows all of the HTML tags used to create the webpage. You could even try this on this webpage!
