  <h2>Introduction to HTML and Meta-HTML</h2>
  
  HTML is the language of the World Wide Web. HTML stands for HyperText
  Markup Language. As its name suggests, it is a is a markup language,
  not a programming language. This means that its purpose is to
  <em>mark</em> plain text. These marks (conventionally called
  <em>tags</em>) describe the structure of the text, the general layout
  of the text, and most importantly they describe <em>Hyper Text
  Links</em> between various sections of the text and other documents.
  
  When a browser retrieves an html formatted document, it reads the text
  and the markup tags, and then displays the text in the format
  described by the tags.
