Remarks

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is an XML-compliant system of annotating documents with
'tags'. It is used specifically to create content for web pages and web applications, which can then
be shared over a network.

Apart from text, the current version of HTML supports many different types of media, including
images and videos.

Introduction

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) uses a markup system composed of elements which
represent specific content. Markup means that with HTML you declare what is presented to a
viewer, not how it is presented. Visual representations are defined by Cascading Style Sheets
(CSS) and realized by browsers. Still existing elements that allow for such, like e.g. font, "are
[1]
entirely obsolete, and must not be used by authors" .

HTML is sometimes called a programming language but it has no logic, so is a markup language.
HTML tags provide semantic meaning and machine-readability to the content in the page.
