HTML is the hidden code behind a web page. Your web browser reads this code and then displays it as a web page on your screen. All the cool graphics and text on a web page is controlled by the HTML. 

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language:
    •    Hyper: When browsing a website you can move between pages by simply clicking on different links.              This ability to access content in a non-linear fashion is called hyper.
    •    Text: HTML code is written in plain text.
    •    Markup: To markup what you write, you must enclose each piece of markup in angle brackets <>.
    •    Language: HTML is computer language used to create and format Web pages.

So, HTML is a computer language that allows you to design and format web pages. After writing the code save it as an html file. You can then view the web page through a browser, such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
