What is the World Wide Web?
The Web presents information as a
series of "documents," often referred to as web pages, that are prepared using
the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
Using HTML, the document's author can
specially code sections of the document to "point" to other information resources. These specially coded sections are referred to as hypertext links.
Users viewing the webpage can select
the hypertext link and retrieve or connect to the information resource that the link points to.
