HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create and design webpages. It structures web content with elements like headings, paragraphs, images, and links. HTML uses tags to denote different content types, such as <h1>
for headings, <p>
for paragraphs, and <img>
for images. It forms the backbone of web development and is combined with CSS (for styling) and JavaScript (for interactivity) to build fully functional web pages.
