Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the most common language used to create documents on the World Wide Web. HTML uses hundreds of different tags to define a layout for web pages. Most tags require an opening <tag> and a closing </tag>.
Example: <b>On a webpage, this sentence would be in bold print.</b>
Below is an example of a very simple page:
This is the code used to make the page:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Title Here</TITLE>
