<!-- comment -->
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It’s the building block of the World Wide Web. HTML defines the meaning and structure of web content.
Now let’s understand what is meant by HyperText Markup Language.
HyperText refers to the way in which Web pages (HTML documents) are linked together. Here one document links to one or more other documents and those documents again link to one or more other documents or they may link back to the original document.
HTML uses tags to "mark-up" a text document to tell a Web browser how to structure the content to be displayed.
HTML has semantics that has meanings and syntax that defines the language rules. These language rules should be followed to develop a web page correctly using HTML.
