HTML
HyperText Markup Language — the standard markup language for creating web pages.
Also: HyperText Markup Language
Definition
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create the structure and content of web pages. HTML uses elements represented by tags to describe the semantic structure of content such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, and forms. Browsers interpret HTML to render content visually. HTML5, the current standard, added semantic elements, native video/audio support, canvas for graphics, and offline capabilities. HTML works alongside CSS (styling) and JavaScript (interactivity).
Example
“An HTML document with a heading tag, paragraph tag, and anchor tag creates a heading, paragraph text, and a clickable hyperlink on the web page.”
