HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is the most basic building block of the internet and one of the base technologies of the World Wide Web, the other two being CSS and JavaScript.
“Hypertext” refers to the hyperlinks that may be contained in an HTML page. “Markup Language” is a language used to add instructions to text. The instructions tell browsers how to display text by defining paragraphs, headings and tables. It is also used for embedding images and videos on a webpage.
