HTML stands for hyper text markup language. HTML is a text, formatting language.
All HTML is tagging or formatting; it provides direction for how information is to be displayed. Most tags we use in html are put inside <angle brackets >. All other tags are put in the < html > tags. Every webpage starts with <html > and ends with </html >. Within the head tag, put the the title tag. All the content the viewer will look at goes within the < body > tag. All the tags have a beginning and ending tags.

Structure of a simple HTML page:
<html>
<head>
<title>
</title>

<body>
(all page content)
</body>
</html>

The <hr> makes a horizontal line on the page; & makes an ampersand.
lt makes the left bracket and gt makes the right bracket.

<em> puts it in italics
<strong> makes the text bolded
