HTML is the code in which the website is written. You mentioned hyperlinks - for example the HTML tag for a hyperlink is <a href="web address you want to link to" title="put the link title here">Link Text Here</a>.

The HTML tag to instruct the browser to use boldface font is <strong>Bold text goes here</strong>.

And so on and so forth.
 
In simple terms that a 'normal' person can understand what does HTML mean? I know it stands for hyper text markup language but this does not help me understand what its all about!! Im trying to set up a website at the moment and it keeps being mentioned! Can someone also explain how its connected to hyperlinks (i know what hyperlinks are)!
Your help would be much appreciated!
