Key Concept
HTML documents are text documents structured with special markup tags also called elements. Unlike other document formats such as PDF and Microsoft Word, HTML source code is human readable. Also, HTML is not proprietary, i.e., it is not owned or copyrighted commercially. The format and standards for HTML documents are established by the W3C and WHATWG, which are "transparent," non-profit organizations devoted to the open and free development of the WWW.
