Courses Plus Student 18,830 PointsAs stated by W3Schools... "HTML is a markup language for describing web documents (web pages).
- HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
- A markup language is a set of markup tags
- HTML documents are described by HTML tags
- Each HTML tag describes different document content"
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp
And by Mozilla Developer Network ... "HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is the most basic building block of a webpage and used for creating and visually representing a webpage. It determines the content of a webpage , but not its functionality. HTML adds "markup" to standard English text. "Hyper Text" refers to links that connect Web pages to one another, making the World Wide Web what it is today. " https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML
