HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Hypertext is a database of documents which are linked together.
HTML is a language which is used to create web pages. HTML is not a procedural language like C and COBOL and other, rather HTML is a markup language which identifies elements of a page so that browsers like Internet Explorer can display that page on our computer.

HTML contains a set of labels and tags that are used to describe a particular kind of information.
Ex: Hi my name is ravi
The tag is used to identify the word ravi as a name.
