__**HTML**__
HTML stands for hyper text markup language. HTML has diffrent tags as follows HTML heading are refined as to tags. headings are bigger in size that.

HTML paragraphs are refined as tag. Tag to put at the end of the paragraph to finish it off is.

HTML links are refined as  tag.  tags can be used in two ways. One way is to creat a link to another document by using the href attribute.Second way is to create a bookmark inside a document by using the name attribute.

HTML images are refined as tag. This tag is empty which means it contains attribute only and has no closing tag. To display an image on a page you need to use the src attributr. "src" stands for source.

To insert a single line break you use tag. This is an empty tag which means that it hasn't got an end tag.

HTML uses these markup tags to describe the web page.
