Question

What type of language is HTML?

Community Answer

HTML, an abbreviation of the HyperText Markup Language, is its own programming language. Web browsers are capable of reading HTML, from both files in a computer and from a web server, and use the information within the code to display text, images, etc.

HTML doesn't have the option to write bold, because that is not how Java works. You cannot, but even if you could, it would not change the URL you go to later.
