HTML

HyperText Markup Language is the language the internet is written in. The language is made up of a number of elements or tags enclosed by < > angle brackets (eg <HTML>). The tags often come in pairs e.g. <p> and </p> tell a browser this text within the tags is a paragraph. The elements are named in such a way that they describe which part of a web page eg. <HEAD> is the header of a page <BODY> the body. Your web browser interprets the elements and builds the page from them.
