The simple answer for this question is that HTML is a markup language and with it you can make web pages. Here’s the text book definition.
“HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language. A markup language is a set of markup tags. HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages.”
- http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp
A markup tag, often called an HTML tag, is a keyword enclosed in angle brackets that tells the web browser how to display the content within that tag. Likewise, many number of HTML tags and with various content inside them, describes the web browser how to display a full web page.

| Sir Tim Berners-Lee |
This is how it all began…
In 1980, British physicist Tim Berners-Lee who was a contractor at CERN by then proposed a project based on hypertext with the aim of sharing information among researches. He also build a prototype called ENQUIRE, however that project didn’t move forward until 1989. That year, Berners-Lee again wrote another memo proposing an Internet based hypertext system. Then he continued to worked on the project and specified HTML, not only that but also wrote the browser and server software.
