What is HTML?

 

HTML (hypertext markup language) is the computer language that is used to create documents on the Web. The first time you see HTML it's really confusing and hard to understand.

This page is just a page full with HTML-tags. You don't see those tags. Maybe it would be good if you see this because for making a website you will need to know the basics of HTML.
You can see the HTML-tags if you right click (with your mouse) on this page. Then you can click on 'View source'.
What you see there, is this page. You browser (where you surf with) translates those HTML-tags into what you see if you surf on this page.

I'm talking about HTML-tags. But what are tags? Tags are instructions that tell your browser what should show up on a Website. All tags start with a < (left bracket) and end with a > (right bracket). If you forget the < and > your HTML-tags won't work.

Please remember the things on this page because you will need to know this later.
