HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a powerful computer language
devised to implement website creation. HTML is all about content; it
defines the structure of the web pages that we view in our browser
every time we go to Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, or any other site.
HTML5 is the latest version of the language, which incorporates added
video functionality and other features. It takes design and structural
cues from print media, allowing us to create headings, paragraphs, and

other web pages.

● Headings, Paragraphs &
Comments
● Divs, Spans & Attributes
