HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language used to create and design web pages.

It structures content on the web by using a series of elements or tags that define different parts of a
webpage, such as headings, paragraphs, links, images, tables, and forms.

At its core, HTML consists of nested tags enclosed within angle brackets. A typical HTML document
starts with a `<!DOCTYPE html>` declaration, followed by the `<html>` tag that wraps the entire
content. Inside the `<html>` tag, two main sections exist: the `<head>` and `<body>`. The `<head>`
contains metadata, such as the title, character set, and links to external resources like stylesheets.
The `<body>` section holds the visible content, including text, images, and interactive elements.

Common HTML tags include:

- `<h1>` to `<h6>`: Define headings, with `<h1>` being the largest.

- `<p>`: Defines paragraphs.

- `<a>`: Creates hyperlinks to other pages or resources.

- `<img>`: Embeds images into the page.

- `<div>`: Acts as a container to group elements together.

- `<table>`, `<tr>`, `<td>`: Build tables with rows and cells.

- `<form>`, `<input>`: Collect user input.

HTML works in conjunction with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to style and layout elements and
JavaScript to add interactivity. It is essential for building modern web applications and is universally
supported by web browsers.

Though simple, HTML is a powerful and flexible language, forming the foundation of the web,
making it indispensable for web development. Its structure ensures that content is accessible,
properly formatted, and interactive for users across devices.
