HTML

Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). Invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee and earning him a knighthood. At its simplest level makes text bold, italic, underlined or creates a link to another document or web page. It can create tables of data ,paragraphs, columns, etc..

CSS is used to style the output using colours, fonts, backgounds. Often they are referred to as HTML/CSS as one cannot work without the other.

A quick way to see some HTML and CSS is to right click on this page and select ‘View Page Source’, or ‘Inspect’ to see some generated HTML. It might be a bit frightening though!
