                           INTRODUCTION TO HTML

 

 

HTML means Hypertext Markup Language.It was created by Berners-Lee in late 1991, which is the most widely used language on Web to develop web pages.
A web page is nothing more than a file, a HTML file to be exact. It's called HTML because web page documents have the file extension .html or .htm. HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language.
