WWW= World Wide Web. This is a system for storing large amounts
of data all over the Net. It is mainly a retrieval system for
getting a wide variety of different documents. The core of WWW
is HTML, which is one document type (the most common) that is available.
HTML makes up the structure on the Web thru which all other documents
are made available. It stands for HyperText Markup Language. It
gives you a simple formatting mechanism for documents that includes
a method of referencing other documents anywhere on the Internet.

Many people use HTML and WWW in a somewhat interchangeable fashion although
this isn't strictly correct.
