Short for HyperText Markup Language,
the authoring language used to create documents on the World Wide Web.
HTML defines the structure and layout of a Web document by using a variety
of tags and attributes. The correct structure for an HTML document starts
with <HTML><HEAD>(enter here what document is about)</HEAD><BODY>
and ends with </BODY></HTML>. All the information you'd like to include
in your Web page fits in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.
There are hundreds of other tags used to format and layout the information
in a Web page. For instance, <P> is used to make paragraphs and <I> is used to italicize fonts.
Tags are also used to specify hypertext links.
These allow Web developers to direct users to other Web pages with only a click of the mouse on either an image or word(s).
The latest HTML standard is XHTML 1.0.
