What is HTML?

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.

Don’t be intimidated by the fancy-sounding name, HTML is just how you tell a browser to do things like make text bold, show an image, and create a link.

Every web page is made of HTML. In fact, you can see the HTML for this page. If you’re in a desktop browser, right-click anywhere on the page and select View Page Source.

Examples:
<b>bold text example</b>
is turned into bold text example.

<img height=100 src="/images/grey-profile-photo2.jpeg" />
is turned into my profile photo with a height of 100 pixels.
