HTML

The HyperText Markup Language is used to create computer documents that may serve as webpages.

Using < and > in combination with < and />, HTML element names are 'created'.

For example: <b>bold text<b/> will cause a browser to render the words 'bold text' in 'bold'.

(This making bold of text did not happen in the example above as we used 'escaped characters' to illustrate the nature of the beast. Escaping characters is also one of our HTML topic subjects... ;-)
