Is HTML a protocol that defines how Web pages are transmitted?

Answer

HTML is not a protocol, it is a language. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. The protocol that webpages go through is HTTP, which stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. HTTP can be seen on the front of every webpage (e.g. http://wiki.answers.com).
