Abstract:

HTML was created by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the WWW, and has been around since the very beginning of the web, and has changed a bit over that time, although it hasn't really gotten any more complicated. HTML is the markup language that's used to write web pages. It simply describes a web page's content and its structure.
