What is HTML?

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> HTML is the HyperText Markup Language (RFC 1866), a small application of SGML used on the Web. It defines a very simple class of report-style documents, with section headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, and illustrations, with a few informational and presentational items, and some hypertext and multimedia. See the question on extending HTML. There is also an XML version of HTML.
