HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to define the structure of web pages. HTML elements (tags) tell the browser how to display content: headings, paragraphs, links, images, tables and forms.
HTML is the foundation of every website. Even when using a CMS such as WordPress, the final result is always HTML code, which the browser interprets and displays. A basic understanding of HTML helps public-sector staff edit content and solve formatting issues.
