HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create and design web pages. It describes the structure of a webpage using a series of elements or tags. Each tag tells the browser how to display the content.
HTML is the foundation of all web pages — every website you visit is built using HTML. It is not a programming language; it is a markup language used to organize and display text, images, videos, and links on a webpage.
