Overview[edit | edit source]

HTML is an application of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) and can be used to structure text, links, images, and other multimedia elements on the web. HTML tags, which are surrounded by angle brackets, are used to markup the elements on a page.

Web browsers interpret these HTML tags and render the content accordingly. Although HTML is often used in conjunction with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript to design more interactive and aesthetically pleasing websites, the fundamental structure of any webpage is built using HTML.
