HTML or HyperText Markup Language is the language of the web, that is, the language in which web pages are written. Ubiquitous use of HTML has led to some of its tags being used even by non-programmers to affect the way their web pages or posts appear. Here’s a list of commonly used HTML codes and what they represent.
