What is Html?
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, it is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. It describes the structure of a Web page. IT consists of a series of elements.
HTM elements tell the browser how to display the content, elements label pieces of content such as "this is a heading", "this is a paragraph", "this is a link", etc.HTML is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content. Other technologies besides HTML are generally used to describe a web page's appearance/presentation (CSS) or functionality/behavior (JavaScript).
An HTML element is set off from other text in a document by "tags", which consist of the element name surrounded by < and >.
