That's actually what HTML stands for - HyperText Markup Language. A markup language doesn't actually do anything the way a programming (or scriping) language does. Instead all it does is allow you to "markup" some text to tell another program how to interpret (or in this case display) that text.

Those tags will all have a similar format that looks like this: some text. Most tags will have an opening () and closing () tag (in fact, in strict XHTML, EVERY tag must have a matching closing tag), and many tags will also contain some "child" tags, which are like sub-tags. Now we just need to talk about what tags are a part of HTML...
