What is HTML?

HTML can be compared to word processing. The text in a word processed file can be formatted in various ways. For example, a heading can be bold and in larger font size than the rest of the document. Also, specific words can be italicized for emphasis.

HTML is a way to define the formats of text in a web page. However, it goes further by also being able to define placement of graphics and hypertext links.
