EXPLANATION:
Hypertext markup language (HTML) is the default reference language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as cascading style sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript.
The web browser receives the HTML document from the webserver or local storage and converts the document into a multimedia web page. HTML semantically describes the structure of a web page and is originally a clue to the appearance of a document.
HTML elements are components of pages. These structures allow you to embed other objects, such as images and interactive shapes, in your rendered page. HTML provides a way to create structured documents by showing the structural semantics of text, such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, citations, and other elements.
HTML elements are separated by labels enclosed in square brackets. Tags such as <img /> and <input /> feed the content directly to the page. Other labels, such as <p>, provide enclosing information about the text of the document and can include other labels as subelements. The browser does not display HTML tags but uses them to interpret the content of the page.
HTML can contain programs written in scripting languages such as JavaScript. This affects the behavior and content of web pages. Incorporating CSS determines the look and layout of your content. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), formerly responsible for HTML and now responsible for CSS standards, has been promoting the use of CSS over explicit HTML since 1997. [2]
