History of HTML
📚 Learning Objectives

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991 while working at CERN. It is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser.
HTML provides the basic structure of sites, which is then enhanced and modified by other technologies like CSS and JavaScript. Think of HTML as the skeleton of a human body, while CSS is the skin and clothing, and JavaScript is the brain and behavior.
