    Have you ever visited a website to read a story or watch a video? Those websites are made using
                     a special language called HTML. It helps you create simple web pages that show text, pictures and
                     more.

                               HTML

                     HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard language for creating web content like
                     text, images, links, videos and audio. HTML5, released in 2014, is the latest version. To work with
                     it, you need a web browser and an HTML editor.
                     A web page is a single page on the Internet with text, images, videos or links. A website is a
                     collection of linked web pages under one address, written in HTML.

                     HYPERTEXT

                     HyperText is text with links (hyperlinks) that take you to another page, resource or section when
                     clicked.

                                                                                                         PURE
                             The term HyperText was coined by Ted Nelson around 1965.                    FACT

                     MARKUP LANGUAGE

                     A markup language controls how text, images and elements appear on a page. It uses special
                     tags to define formatting, layout and display in a web browser.

                               HISTORY OF HTML

                     Tim Berners-Lee,  a CERN scientist,  invented  the first version of HTML  to  help scientists  share
                     research. He also laid the foundation for the World Wide Web.

                                       Suppose, writing HTML5 code was like casting a spell. What kind of digital spells would
                                       you create and what effects would they have on your web page?
