Answer:
HTML: The Language of the Web
HTML is the single most important standard in web design—and the only one that’s absolutely required if you plan to create a web page. Every web page is written in HTML. It doesn’t matter whether your page contains a series of blog entries, a dozen pictures of your pet lemur, or a heavily formatted screenplay—odds are that, if you’re looking at it in a browser, it’s an HTML page.
HTML plays a key role in web pages: It tells browsers how to display the contents of a page, using special instructions called tags that tell a browser when to start a paragraph, italicize a word, or display a picture. To create your own web pages, you need to learn to use this family of tags.
HTML is such an important standard that you’ll spend a good portion of this book digging through its features, frills, and occasional shortcomings. Every web page you build along the way will be a bona fide HTML document.
