Hypertext Markup Language is the format of the source code for pages in the World Wide Web; it provides (as the name suggests) hypertext functionality.

There have been a number of versions, as the Web's capabilities grew; the early versions were mostly focused on displaying static multi-media content, but later ones allowed for considerable activity in the browser on the client system in response to user actions.
