What is HTML?
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web pages. It defines the structure and content of a page using elements like headings, paragraphs, links, images, and forms. Every website is built on HTML.
How Does HTML Work?
HTML uses a system of tags to mark up content. Tags like <h1> define headings, <p> defines paragraphs, <a> creates links, and <img> embeds images. The current version, HTML5, introduced semantic elements like <article>, <nav>, and <section>, as well as native support for audio, video, and canvas drawing.
HTML works alongside CSS (for styling) and JavaScript (for interactivity) to create modern websites. HTML files can be served directly as static websites — upload an HTML file to any web server and it becomes a live web page. This makes HTML the simplest path to getting a website online, especially with hosting services that accept direct file uploads.
