translated by a web browser. A web page can be identified by entering an URL.
A web page can be of the static or dynamic type.
Hence, HTML is a markup language which is used for creating attractive web
pages with the help of styling and which looks in a nice format on a web
browser. An HTML document is made of many HTML tags and each HTML tag
contains different content.
Let’s see a simple example of HTML.
<html>
<head>
<title>web page title </title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>write your first heading. </h1>
<p> write your first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML has developed from what was earlier known as GML (General
Markup Language) in early 1980s. In 1986, it got standardisation from
ISO and was renamed SGML (Standard General Markup Language) . In
1989, this language was redesigned by Sir Tim Berners-Lee and his team
and named it as HTML.

HTML TAGS
HTML uses a pre-defined set of elements to identify content tags. Elements contain
one or more tags that contain or express some specific information. Content tags are
surrounded by angle brackets and the “closing” tags are prefixed by a forward slash.
For example, the paragraph element consists of the start tag “<p>” and the closing
tag “</p>”.
