What is HTML?

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the language used to structure content on the web.

HTML describes what things are:

  • headings
  • paragraphs
  • links
  • images
  • lists
  • forms
  • CSS controls how things look (styles/layout)
  • JavaScript controls behavior (interactivity)

Open any website, right-click, and choose View Page Source. You’re looking at HTML (and related markup).
