===HyperText Markup Language===

{{Main article|HTML|Markup language}}

[[HyperText Markup Language]] (HTML) is the backbone of any website development process, without which a web page does not exist. Hypertext means that text has links, termed hyperlinks, embedded in it. When a user clicks on a word or a phrase that has a hyperlink, it will bring another web-page. A markup language indicates text can be turned into images, tables, links, and other representations. It is the HTML code that provides an overall framework of how the site will look. HTML was developed by [[Tim Berners-Lee]]. The latest version of HTML is called [[HTML5]] and was published on October 28, 2014 by the [[World Wide Web Consortium|W3C]] recommendation. This version contains new and efficient ways of handling elements such as video and audio files.

[[HyperText Markup Language]] (HTML) is the modern standard for displaying and structuring [[web content]] across the [[internet]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=HTML Standard |url=https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/ |access-date=2024-09-30 |website=html.spec.whatwg.org}}</ref> HTML defines what elements will be displayed on a website, and how they will be arranged. All major [[Web browser|web browsers]] are designed to interpret HTML, and most modern websites serve HTML to the user.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-08-02 |title=The web and web standards - Learn web development {{!}} MDN |url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/Getting_started_with_the_web/The_web_and_web_standards |access-date=2024-09-30 |website=developer.mozilla.org |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Hypertext]] is text displayed on a [[computer]] with references to other text, these references (or links,) are termed "[[Hyperlink|hyperlinks]]." When an internet user interacts with a hyperlinked item, the website serves the user the linked data. This data can be another HTML web-page, JavaScript, or anything else. The latest major release of HTML is [[HTML5]], originally published on October 28, 2014 as a [[World Wide Web Consortium|W3C]] recommendation.<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 28, 2014 |title=HTML5 |url=https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/SPSD-html5-20180327/ |access-date=September 30, 2024 |website=w3}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Web Standards |url=https://www.w3.org/standards/ |access-date=2024-09-30 |website=W3C |language=en}}</ref>
