  1. [Internet] A computer file formatted with HTML tags so that it may be viewed in a Web browser and published on the World Wide Web. An HTML document may incorporate text, images, sound, video, and other media components. Characteristically, it also has embedded references, called hypertext links, to other HTML documents. These links enable a person viewing a document in a Web browser to open other documents—which may be stored on other computers anywhere in the world—by clicking on the link using a mouse.
