'''HyperText Markup Language''' ('''HTML''') is the standard [[markup language]] for creating [[web page]]s and [[web application]]s.

[[HTML element]]s are the building blocks of HTML pages. With HTML constructs, [[Img (HTML element)|images]] and other objects, such as [[Fieldset|interactive forms]] may be embedded into the rendered page.  It provides a means to create [[structured document]]s by denoting structural [[semantics]] for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, [[Hyperlink|links]], quotes and other items. HTML elements are delineated by ''tags'', written using [[Bracket#Angle brackets|angle brackets]]. Tags such as {{tag|img|single}} and {{tag|input|single}} introduce content into the page directly. Others such as {{tag|p}} surround and provide information about document text and may include other tags as sub-elements. Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to interpret the content of the page.

HTML can embed programs written in a [[scripting language]] such as [[JavaScript]] which affect the behavior and content of web pages. Inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content. The [[World Wide Web Consortium]] (W3C), maintainer of both the HTML and the CSS standards, has encouraged the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML since 1997.<ref name="deprecated">{{cite web|url=http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40-971218/conform.html#deprecated |title=HTML 4.0 Specification — W3C Recommendation — Conformance: requirements and recommendations |publisher=World Wide Web Consortium |date=December 18, 1997 |accessdate=July 6, 2015}}</ref>
