Why HTML is called markup language?

The set of markup symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for display on a World Wide Web browser page. The markup tells the Web browser how to display a Web page’s words and images for the user. Each individual markup code is referred to as an element (but many people also refer to it as a tag). Some elements come in pairs that indicate when some display effect is to begin and when it is to end.

We try to be standards compliant when it comes to the selection of web technologies. HTML, XHTML, DHTML, CSS, JavaScript and AJAX etc. are used extensively in the applications we build for various clients.
