HyperText Markup Language, the standard markup language used to create web pages and web applications.
Acronym for HyperText Markup Language, coined by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. 'HyperText' comes from the concept of text that contains links to other text, 'Markup' refers to annotations that define document structure, and 'Language' indicates it's a formal system of communication with computers.
HTML is the DNA of the internet - just as genetic code uses four bases to create all life's complexity, HTML uses simple tags to build the entire visible web. Tim Berners-Lee's genius was creating a language simple enough for anyone to learn but powerful enough to connect all human knowledge.
