Description	The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a markup language designed for the rendering of information via a web browser. It was originally defined as a highly simplified subset of SGML, but is now an international standard, and is maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). A HTML document consists of nested elements, each of which may have attributes and content. It begins with an HTML Document Type declaration. HTML 5 does not explicitly define the HTML version or any Document Type Definition (DTD) within the DOCTYPE tag.
