HTML (the Hpertext Markup Language) is the language of the World Wide Web developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990 while working at CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics) in Geneva. HTML is not a programming language it is a markup language whereby simple coding is embedded into a narrative which describes the structure, layout and formatting of the document. The coding is interpreted or parsed by a web browser and, hopefully, the page is displayed as the designed intended. Unlike programming languages, HTML is simple, logical and intuitive to understand and implement.
