What is HTML?
HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. HTML describes the structure of Web pages using markup and HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. HTML elements are represented by tags and the HTML tags label pices of content such as 'heading', 'paragraph', and 'table' etc. Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to render the content of the page.

CSS
What is CSS?
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. CSS describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media. CSS saves a lot of work as it can control the layout of multiple webpages all at once. External stylesheets are stored in CSS files. CSS controls the shape, position and colour of HTML elements.
