HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is an authoring language which was invented at the European Particle Physics Laboratory (CERN) during the late 1960s as a distribution system for creating and sharing multimedia-enabled, integrated electronic documents over the Internet. HTML was developed to unify text, pictures and sound into a single document with hypertext linking whereby documents automatically referenced other documents, saving readers from manually referencing related documents. The first truly successful viewer for HTML documents was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois, it was called Mosaic and was distributed free. With the birth of Mosaic came the World Wide Web. The developers of Mosaic at NCSA left and established the company Netscape, producing the popular Netscape Navigator browser, which like almost all modern web browsers is based on the original Mosaic.
