Technologies behind the Web

HTML

HyperText Markup Language is the coding used to create elements on a web page, such as paragraphs, lists, images, headlines, and tables.

<p>Here is a <em>cool</em> logo:</p>
<p><img src="logo.jpg" alt="logo" width="auto"/></p>

Unlike a programming language (which describes interactions), a markup language is static. It simply tells the browser what to display on a page. Other technologies are used to control if and how these elements react, and how they look.
