HTML stands for “Hypertext Markup Language.” It is the hidden “instructions” that tell your web browser (such as Internet Explorer and Firefox) what to display on a page. HTML is made up of a series of commands. Each command is known as a “tag,” which start and end with an angle bracket. a tag can also end your command, using a slash. The command from beginning to end would look something like this:

<command>element here</command>

Now that you have learned about tags, the basic building block of HTML, all that is left to learn are the different types of commands and how you can apply them to elements on your page.
