HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language used to construct online documents and is the foundation of most websites today. A markup language like HTML allows us to:
1) Create links to other documents
2) Structure the content in our document
3) Attribute context and meaning to the content of our document

They are constructs of the language providing [structure](#) and [meaning](#) in our document for the browser and [<anchor>](#) linking to other documents across the internet.
