What is HTML?
HTML, or HyperText Markup Language, is the building block of markup code that provides hypertext linking within documents. HTML describes paragraphs, lists, images, and links that the browser interprets for visual page construction. Accompanying the core styling (CSS) and interactivity (JavaScript) features added by developers, HTML acts as the backbone that search engines use to crawl and index the website.
In HTML5 modern frameworks, text blocks are defined by the terms <article>, <nav>, which are used for menus, and <footer>, which is used for page footers.
