It is an acronym for HyperText Markup Language. It is the code that is 'behind' websites....it basically tells the internet how to make things appear and what to do.

I am a non-IT person working in an IT department (on the admin side), and half the time I feel like everyone is speaking a different language. I have to look things up on the web (bloomin' acronyms) on a daily basis!

anyway, is this why i sometimes get written material, usually in emails, that look like they're written in hieroglyphs? because it's in another 'language"?
or i sometimes can't send images to chit-chat by copy-paste? because the forum and my mac speak different languages?
