what is HTML?

Hi I am vania. I am from grade 5 aurora.
Today I will tell you about what is HTML.
HTML is a language ina computer.
Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) is the encoding scheme used to create
and format a web document. A user need not be an expert programmer to make
use of HTML for creating hypertext documents that can be put on the internet.
HTML is a text and image formatting language used by web browsers to dynamically format
web pages. Many of the text elements are found in the 1988 ISO technical report TR
9537 Techniques for using SGML, which in turn covers the features of early text
formatting languages such as that used by the RUNOFF command developed in the
early 1960s for the CTSS (Compatible Time-Sharing System) operating system: these
formatting commands were derived from the commands used by typesetters to manually
format documents. However the SGML concept of generalized markup is based on
elements (nested annotated ranges with attributes) rather than merely point effects
, and also the separation of structure and processing: HTML has been progressively
moved in this direction with CSS.
