HTML

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language used to create and structure content on the World Wide Web. Developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990 and standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), HTML provides the foundational framework for web pages, defining their structure and semantics through a system of tags and attributes. HTML enables the inclusion of text, images, links, multimedia, and interactive elements, forming the backbone of web documents that are styled with CSS and enhanced with JavaScript. The latest version, HTML5 (finalized in 2014), introduced advanced features like semantic elements, multimedia support, and APIs for dynamic web applications.
