Information on Hypertext Markup Language

Hypertext Markup Language is a markup language commonly used on the web.
     An Hypertext Markup Language document type consists of text and tags. The tags control the displayed format of the document, as well as specifying the URL for hyperlinks and images.
     Unlike XML, an Hypertext Markup Language document does not specify the type of data, only the format for its display.
     An Hypertext Markup Language document is usually given the file extension '.htm' or '.Hypertext Markup Language'.
     A typical Hypertext Markup Language parser is much more forgiving of Hypertext Markup Language documents that are not well formed than an XML parser.
