What is HTML?

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language.

HTML is used to create the structure of webpages. It tells the browser what different pieces of content are, such as headings, paragraphs, images, links and forms.

Think of HTML as the structure of a house. CSS will later control how that house looks, while JavaScript can make it interactive.

Your First HTML Code

Here is a simple HTML heading:

The browser will display:
