PEOPLE are only just realising what HTML stands for - and they're baffled.
Simply put, HTML is the code that is used to structure a web page and its content.
The acronym is conveniently used so we don't have to spell out what it stands for: "Hyper Text Markup Language".
Hyper Text Markup Language contains several 'elements' - which tell the browser how to display content.
