HTML
HTML, or Hypertext Markup Language, is the standard markup language used to create and structure web pages. It uses a system of tags to define elements like headings, paragraphs, and links, which are then interpreted by a web browser to display the content. It provides the foundational "bones" for a website, determining its layout and content, but requires other technologies like CSS for styling and JavaScript for complex logic and interactivity.
