Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML, is the powerhouse of the internet, responsible for all the internet content. Using a system of tags, it defines the different elements on the page, such as images, text, multimedia, and links. While we generally take HTML for granted as it works away behind the scenes, consider the following facts to understand just how remarkable HTML is.
No algorithms
HTML is a markup language for structuring content, not a programming tool required to perform computations. This means that there are no algorithms involved.
Accelerated mobile pages
Accelerated Mobile Pages, or AMP, is used to speed up HTML 5 on smartphones, improving their performance on mobile devices. This is helpful for anyone displaying HTML 5 ads on a mobile screen.

Popular tags
The tags used on a web page will vary depending on the requirements of the page. But there are some tags that appear on almost all sites. These include the division tag, the paragraph tag, the image tag, and the anchor tag to create hyperlinks. Other common tags include the different header tags and the form tag to create web forms. For websites with lists, an unordered list tag can create the lists. There is also a tag to define the list items.
XHTML
Extensible Hypertext Markup Language is a special version of HTML. XTML is stricter than HTML, requiring adherence to the rules. However, it is more compatible with Extensive Markup Language or XML and is easier to upgrade.
