HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the markup language used to create webpages on the internet. The language was first created in 1980 and remains prominent to this day.
HTML webpage documents are stored on web servers. These web servers are then accessed by web browsers, which use the instructions contained in the HTML documents – called HTML tags – to successfully render the desired webpage.
The HTML language was also initially used to define the layout and appearance of webpages. But it has been gradually replaced by CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) after the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) found that the language was more appropriate for these stylistic requirements.
