HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. But what is it? HTML is the coding language used to create webpages. This coding language consists of a series of tags that define the layout and content on a page. HTML contains the coding for paragraphs, headings, links, and images. HTML works along with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to create the look and feel of a website including the fonts and colors, and Javascript for interactivity within the website. Together, these systems are able to interpret and display the HTML code correctly.
