What is an HTML Document?
A:
The short answer is - it's a web page. You see, web pages are nothing more than another type of document. In fact, they're really nothing more than a page of text instructions that your web browser reads.
So what exactly is this HTML?
HTML is short for Hyper Text Markup Language . It's the programming language of web pages (technically, HTML is not a programming language, but it's the best way to explain it).
HTML gives your web browser instructions on how to display the HTML document (web page) you're accessing.
If you would like to take a peek at this HTML stuff, open Internet Explorer or Firefox and head to your favourite site. From the view menu, select Page Source or View Source (depending on your browser and version).
