HTML (HyperText Markup Language)

What is HTML

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the markup language of web pages. Tags such as <h1>, <p> and <a> tell the browser what each part of a page is: a heading, a paragraph, a link, an image or a form.

HTML describes structure and content. The look comes from CSS and the behavior from JavaScript. Emails can be written in HTML too, which is how newsletters get their layout and images. Attributes add details to a tag, for example href holds the address of a link and src the address of an image.

You don't need HTML for design
