What is HTML?
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create and design the structure of web pages. It’s like the blueprint for websites! It's the foundation for all web development, and everything users see on a webpage begins with HTML. It allows developers (like you!) to organize content on a webpage into headings, paragraphs, links, images, tables, and more. It's considered the structure of developing a website.

While we’ll delve deeper into CSS in the next chapter, this example highlights how basic HTML forms the foundation of a webpage.
