so what is html?
a way to write documents, so that they can be published on the web.
hypertext markup language:
hypertext, because a html document can contain links to other documents on the web.
markup language, because in essence it's just text surrounded from time to time by tags to define certain areas in the text.
like this: this is bold text and is written in html as <b>this is bold text</b> wich a browser will render as bold.
<b> is here a tag defining bold text.
there are many other html tags.
