HTML5 (Hypertext Markup Language) is the language used to create webpages. HTML is a standardized system for tagging text files to tell a web browser how to display the text and images of a web page such as font, color, graphics, and hyperlinks. “Hypertext” refers to the hyperlinks and “markup language” refers to the way tags are used to define the page layout and elements within the page.
