HTML is a standard markup language used to create web pages. Some key points:
- HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language and was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1993 to describe the structure of web pages.
- Common versions include HTML5 (the latest). HTML is not a programming language.
- To create basic HTML pages, you need a computer, text editor like Notepad++, and web browser like Chrome.
- HTML uses tags like <h1> for headings and <p> for paragraphs to structure content and tags like <html> and <body> to define the overall page.
