HTML stands for** Hypertext Markup Language**.
HTML is the language for describing the structure of Web pages. HTML gives authors the means to: Publish online documents with headings, text, tables, lists, photos, etc. Retrieve online information via hypertext links, at the click of a button.                                                                                                                               
                                                            **HOW DOES HTML WORK :**
               HTML works by telling the internet browser how to display the page. First, the author uses a basic text editor on the computer (such as TextEdit for Mac) to create their HTML document. The author then fills their HTML document with a series of HTML elements, using HTML tags.
