Background
Web pages are text files, written in a language called Hypertext Markup Language or HTML. A markup language is a language used to describe the contact and format of documents. HTML was developed from the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), a language used for large-scale documents.
SGML proved to be cumbersome and difficult, thus HTML was created. HTML has a set of rules, called syntax. Syntax are a set of standards or specifications developed by a consortium of Web developers, programmers, and authors called the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
HTML extensions have been added to support new features, which have been adopted in subsequent sets of standards released by the W3C. These extensions have provided Web page authors with more options.

What is HTML?
HTML is HyperText Markup Language.
HTML was invented by Tim Berners-Lee while at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva.
HTML code allows you to format a page with text and images so you can display it on the World Wide Web. You don't need to have previous programming knowledge, and you don't need special programs to code HTML. When I first started coding HTML, I simply used a text editor. But now a days there are some great tools out there to help you write HTML code.

Notepad as a basic for Learning HTML Editor
The most basic tool for learning HTML editing is Notepad. By using notepad you will learn all of the basic coding for making a website.
You can also use an HTML converter or an HTML editor. An HTML converter like Microsoft Word takes text in one format and converts it to HTML code.
An HTML editor helps you create an HTML file by inserting HTML codes for you as you work.
