What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content.

Anatomy of HTML

HyperText, A Text with a link enabled that can redirect to documents of information that create a branching or network structure that can accommodate direct, unmediated jumps to pieces of related information in form of web pages.

Markup language, standard text-encoding system consisting of a set of symbols inserted in a text document to control its structure, formatting, or the relationship between its parts.

HTML, in full hypertext markup language, a formatting system for displaying material retrieved over the Internet. Each retrieval unit is known as a Web page (from World Wide Web), and such pages frequently contain hypertext links that allow related pages to be retrieved.
