About HTML
HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is a fundamental language used for creating web pages on the World Wide Web. It was created by Tim Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist, in 1989 while he was working at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) in Switzerland.
HTML serves as the backbone of web content by providing a standardized way to structure and format documents that can be displayed in web browsers. It uses markup elements (tags) to define the structure and presentation of text, images, links, and other multimedia elements on a webpage.
Tim Berners-Lee's work on HTML was pivotal in the development of the World Wide Web, and it laid the foundation for the modern internet as we know it today. His vision of an interconnected network of documents accessible through hyperlinks has transformed the way information is shared and accessed across the globe.
