What is HTML?

Definition

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language for creating web pages. It uses tags like <p>, <div>, <a>, and <img> to structure content, define links, embed media, and create forms.

Why It Matters

HTML is the foundation of every web page. Semantic HTML (using <article>, <nav>, <header> correctly) improves accessibility, SEO rankings, and maintainability. All web developers must know HTML to build and debug web applications.
