Others have already told you that it's HyperText Markup Language; it's the original primary code of the web. It has simple commands that allow you to change the look of text, for example. It also allows linking, images, you name it.

It's not hard to learn; I taught it to myself out of a book in 1995 or 96. There are a lot of free online references for it. Here are some:

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

It's really useful to know some HTML, because it lets you do all sorts of neat things in all sorts of places online.

Good luck!

I forget what it stands for, but basically it's a type of internet coding that affects how a page is viewed. For example, <b>this</b> would be bold font, <i>this</i> would be italics, <u>this</u> would be underlined, and <a href="www.advicenators.com">this</a> would be a link to Advicenators. There's much more, do a google search for an HTML tutorial. Hope I helped!

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the computer language that is used to create documents on the Web. It can be kind of confusing to understand at first. HTML documents are text files that consist of HTML tags (which can place the text or images wherever you want to place them), and text you can place between the tags so that the text will show up on your page when you publish it on the WWW (World Wide Web). Tags are instructions that tell your browser what to show on a Web page. They break up your document into basic sections. All tags start with a < (left bracket) and end with a > (right bracket).

HyperText Markup Language
codes entered in the internet to make certain things show or appear. for instance when you are writing and you want the font or style of your writing to look different you insert something like < font > (without the spaces) before what you write. "< font >" is a form of HTML.
it makes up text looking like <font>this.</font>
