One of the most common questions for new developers is: why is HTML called markup language? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The answer is simple: HTML “marks up” plain text with special instructions that designate how the content should be displayed or behave.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

<h1>Hello, World!<\/h1>\r\n\r\n<p>This is a paragraph in HTML.<\/p><\/pre>\n
Here, <h1> and <p> are markup tags<\/strong> that tell the browser how to display the text.<\/p>\n
