Have you ever wondered what makes a webpage display text, images, and links?
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. Don't worry about the fancy name - it's simply a way to tell web browsers how to display content.
Just like you use paragraphs and headings to organize a document, HTML organizes web content.

What do you think "markup" means in this context?
HTML works by using special codes called "tags" that wrap around your content. These tags tell the browser: "this is a heading" or "this is a paragraph."
For example: <h1>Welcome to My Website</h1> creates a large heading.
