This week, the AcadeCoders learn the wonderful coding language of HTML/CSS! HTML/CSS is the standard markup language used to create web pages. It is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>). HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and</h1>, although some represent empty elements and so are unpaired for example, <img>.
