WHAT IS HTML?

HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is actually a computer language that allows one to create webpages and websites. A webpage is a single HTML page. A website is a collection of webpages accessible on the internet through a domain.

HTML involves using certain codes and syntax and these are saved as a html file ie. file ending in .html. Any browser, like Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc can read these codes and display a webpage's content, structure and design.

HTML code comprises tags that are used to markup text on a webpage, ie. make them bold, underlines, change font color, etc.

The beauty of HTML is that it is very easy to create webpages with it. All that's required is to type content using the proper tag coventions with a text editor, like notepad, to markup this content and then saving this file as a html file. This file can now be viewed as a webpage in a browser.
