The code that organizes a web page’s content is called HTML (HyperText Markup Language).

The markup language HTML establishes the organization of your content.

HTML is made up of a number of elements that you can use to wrap or enclose different parts of the content to give it a particular look or behavior.

The enclosing tags have the ability to italicize words, change the font size, make a word or image hyperlink to another location, and more.

Additionally, HTML elements may have attributes that provide more details about the element.

Elements must be correctly nested in order for them to be nested inside other elements.

Certain HTML elements are void and have no content, such as the img element.
