HTML


 * HTML **


 * HTML**, which stands for **HyperText Markup Language**, is the predominant [|markup language] for [|web pages]. It provides a means to create [|structured documents] by denoting structural [|semantics] for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists etc as well as for links, quotes, and other items. It allows [|images and objects] to be embedded and can be used to create [|interactive forms]. It is written in the form of [|HTML elements] consisting of "tags" surrounded by [|angle brackets] within the web page content. It can include or can load [|scripts] in languages such as [|JavaScript] which affect the behavior of HTML processors like [|Web browsers]; and [|Cascading Style Sheets] (CSS) to define the appearance and layout of text and other material. The [|W3C], maintainer of both HTML and CSS standards, encourages the use of CSS over explicit presentational markup.
