Information on HTML (Hypertext Markup Language)

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is a markup language commonly used on the web.
     An HTML 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 HTML document does not specify the type of data, only the format for its display.
     An HTML document is usually given the file extension '.htm' or '.html'.
     A typical HTML parser is much more forgiving of HTML documents that are not well formed than an XML parser.
