Answer:

HTML: HyperText Markup Language or simply HTML is the markup language used by web developers to create web [ages. It is written in the format of HTML elements containing tags bracketed in angle brackets like ‘<html>’. These tags use in pairs like <h1> and </h2>, although there are some empty elements as well and that is the requirement, like <img>. Web browsers can read HTML files and render them into visible or audible web page. Web browsers don’t display HTML tags and scripts, but use them to interpret the content of the page. HTML describes the structure of a website semantically along with cues for presentation, making it a markup language, instead of a programming language. HTML elements form the structure blocks of all websites. It allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms.HTML5:  HTML5 is the fifth version of HTML and is a core technology markup language of internet that is used for structuring and presenting the content for WWW.
