HTML which is short for HyperText Markup Language is the official language

of the World Wide Web and was first conceived in 1990

HTML was originally developed by a man named Tim Berners-Lee . The first ever
version of HTML was HTML 1.0. In 1994, an organization called the W3C (World
Wide Web Consortium) was formed to standardize HTML. They got to work and
created HTML 3.2

HTML 4.0 styles and color tags are deprecated, instead style sheets were
embedded
HTML 4.01

HTML is the "hidden" code that helps us communicate with others on the World Wide
Web (WWW).

Every web page is actually a HTML file. Each HTML file is just a plain-text file, but with a
.html file extension instead of .txt, and is made up of many HTML tags as well as the content
for a web page.
A web site will often contain many html files that link to each other. You can edit HTML files
with your favourite editor.
HTML Tags

HTML tags are the hidden keywords within a web page that define how the browser must
format and display the content.

HTML5 is a cooperation between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web
Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG).

Browser Support

The first web browser was introduced in 1993 and the name was MOSAIC. The First Draft
