When we talk about HTML, we refer to a markup language(tags) that has links to other documents?

7,486 Pointsthe whole concept behind HTML is we link text to some other text using structured text hence hypertext and hyperlink is a reference in a hypertext that directs the user to a section in the same document or a different document. all in all hypertext "MARKUP LANGUAGE" so i guess what you are saying is true....

Courses Plus Student 1,503 PointsThank You for answer, and excuse me for delay in reply.
Agree wit you, as understand we use hypertext to jump from one document to the same part of the document (with anchors) or another document. Markup Language(tags) is what we use in every hypertext content
Hypertext is about the text that has a link, while hyperlink is the the target document we link to our text?

Courses Plus Student 1,503 PointsThank You,
understand what you mean, but stuck about the term HTML(as a term). ML means as suppose that we use markup up langauge (various tags(<p>,<div>,<span> etc) but HT means we use hyperlinks to connect various document each other?
