HTML is a markup language that uses tags to annotate documents and indicate where different components like headings, images, and links should be placed. When a file with an .html extension is opened, the browser knows to display it. Early versions of HTML focused on being a common language across platforms, while later versions added features like styles, multimedia, and semantic tags. HTML5, the most recent version, is a result of cooperation between standards bodies to establish guidelines for new features based on HTML, CSS, JavaScript and reduce the need for plugins.
