About HTML

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create and structure content on the web. It forms the backbone of every website, allowing developers to define elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, links, tables, and forms. HTML uses tags and attributes to label content so browsers can display it correctly.

Originally developed in the early 1990s, HTML has evolved significantly with modern versions like HTML5, which support multimedia, improved semantics, and better accessibility. Whether you're building a personal website or a complex web application, HTML is the first step in becoming a web developer.
