Introduction to HTML
The purpose of a web browser (such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML documents and
display them as web pages.
The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to determine how the content of the HTML page is to be
presented/displayed to the user:
