HTML Introduction

  • HTML is a Hyper Text Markup Language.
  • HTML is not a programming language.
  • HTML tells web browsers how to structure web pages.
  • HTML consists of a series of elements. 
  • HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content.
  • HTML elements are represented by tags.
  • HTML tags label pieces of content such as "heading", "paragraph", "table" etc.

Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to render the content of the page.
