HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the standard language used for creating and structuring content on the web. It defines the structure of web pages through the use of elements and tags, which dictate how text, images, links, and other multimedia are displayed in a web browser. HTML provides the foundation for web documents, allowing developers to format content, organize sections, and create interactive features. It consists of a series of elements enclosed in angle brackets, such as
for paragraphs, for links, and for images, which together build the content and layout of a webpage.
