Term: HTML TAGS (Hyper Text Markup Language)
An HTML or HyperText Markup Language is a coding that is inserted between characters in order to instruct the browser on how to display a page.
For example, the HTML Tag of "<B>" instructs the browser to display all characters which follow that "Bold" tag in bold letters. Most HTML tags have "opening tags" that start the special treatment of information which follows. When it is desired to stop having special treatment of characters, the "closing tags" are used to terminate the special effect. For example, the HTML tag of "</B>" would instruct the browser to stop display the letters in bold.
In this example, the text that would be used to display the characters "Bold Text" in bold letters inside the browser would be the following: "<B>Bold Text</B>". The HTML would contain opening and closing "Bold" or "B" tags.
