What is... HTML?
HTML is one of those words that pretty much everyone has noticed at some point in their search bar but what is it and what does it mean? Personally, I used to think this was just an abbreviation for the once popular Hotmail messaging platform! How very wrong I was. In reality HTML (or Hypertext Markup Language) is a standardised system that tags text files to achieve font, colour, graphic and hyperlinks on the web pages that you use on a day to day. HTML will usually be assisted by CSS and JavaScript with the three forming a perfect trio to create the front-end of a webpage. HTML was created in 1993 and was designed to be displayed in web browsers which it successfully has done ever since being the core markup language for developers to use.
