What is all that tag stuff about? Does anybody really know?

What does HTML mean?
Look at the diagram below: on top is an example of what we see very often - a piece of text and someone has 'marked it up' to show what the final effect should be. And in the middle is how a simple piece of hypertext would be marked up.
And at the bottom is how that text would appear after it had been 'marked up' to be changed.
That's the difference between telling someone how to edit a document to make something appear in a special way - by annotating the original with an instruction - and telling your Internet browser software how to do the same thing by adding the 'make it bold' instruction.
So, HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language.
There must be more to it than that!!
There is --- but most of it is not any more difficult to understand.
