HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is the foundational language used to structure content on the web.
HTML uses tags to define elements like headings, paragraphs, links, and images. For example, the <p> tag is used to create a paragraph.
Every web page you visit is built using HTML, making it essential for anyone interested in web development.
Example
<p>This is a paragraph in HTML.</p>
