HTM stands for Hypertext Markup Web Page Format. These files contain markup that is used by browsers, in plain-text format. HTM format was introduced for file name extension compatibility with older operating systems such as OS/2 and DOS.
HTM files are typically divided into two sections i.e. Head and Body. The Head section defines Meta data about the web page and also contains imports for CSS and scripts. The Body section contains markup elements that help the browser render the web page correctly. Every HTM file should begin with the keyword <HTMl>.
