This article is a gentle explanation of HTML, the basic building block of the Web.

January 1, 1998

ypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the basic building block of the World Wide Web page. It uses a pre-defined set of tags to format text, create hyperlinks to other places, and insert graphic images. When a web browser opens an HTML file, it displays the page based on the tags.

<html>
