HTML is hypertext markup language that is the standard markup language for documents designed

to be displayed in the web browser. It is standard language for web programming along with CSS and
JavaScript. HTML is made up of different elements called tags that dictate the structure of a
webpage that are then translated by a web browser into a user-friendly form.

The HTML works by telling the internet browser how to display the page. First the basic text editor is
used on the computer to create their HTML document with a series of HTML elements using HTML
tags.

Browsers are designed to run HTML files but have several code editors and code editing websites,
developers test their HTML files before taking them live. The web browser has a set of rules
programmed into it for parsing HTML.

HTML tags are the keywords which define how web browsers will format and display the content.
With the help of tags, a web browser can distinguish between HTML content and simple content.
