HTML
-- (HyperText Markup Language)
The coding
language used to create Hypertext documents for use on the
World Wide Web. HTML looks a lot like old-fashioned typesetting
code, where you surround a block of text with codes that
indicate how it should appear.
The "hyper"
in Hypertext comes from the fact that in HTML you can specify
that a block of text, or an image, is linked to another
file on the Internet. HTML files are meant to be viewed
using a "Web Browser".
HTML is
loosely based on a more comprehensive system for markup
called SGML.
