HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language is a text file or ASCII file that contains instructions / scripts to the web browser to display a graphical view of a web page. In the HTML file there are several "tags" or codes understood by the web browser and can be displayed on the screen.
HTML files can be created with any text editor application on any operating system, such as: Notepad in Windows, emasc or vi on Unix or SimpleText on the Macintosh. This HTML file can also be created in any word processing application provided that when saving files are stored in text-only format.
