Hi there,
Marking something up in a book would mean underlining or highlighting a text. In that sense I am finding it difficult to grasp the reasoning behind the name HTML(Markup).
As a side note, I am puzzled that, isn’t CSS the language that actually marks up the texts and other items in a webpage? Then why would HTML, the language of tags, be called a markup language.
I appreciate your time for reading this, feel free to point me towards resources where more information about this reasoning can be found.
have a good time!

Html is just like using a text editor like Microsoft Word to make text different fonts and sizes, and also include images.
Except you have to type the commands instead of selecting text and using a button to edit it.
Kinda like how you can edit text on reddit so that *this* becomes *this* or [this](https://www.reddit.com/) becomes [this](https://www.reddit.com/)
Html is slightly more in depth. But overall that’s the general idea. You’re marking up text.
