What is HTML?

HTML stands for HYPER TEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE which is the most widely used language on web to develop web pages.

Unlike scripting language that uses scripts to perform function, a markup language uses tags to identify content

Here is an example

<p> I’m a Paragraph</p>

Anything written in <..> is known as tag. In above example we used a paragraph tag <p> also known as open tag used to open the content of paragraph and </p> known as closed tag used to identify that the paragraph has been closed. More tags and example will be discussed in later blogs.
