Its not a language =\, its a markup language hence, hypertext markup language (html). As to keeping to the topic of this post, some good editors are notepad++ as it has syntax support for html. You also use them by writting them out and saving them as a .htm, .html file. Also there are 3 basic parts, html, header, body. These 3 parts are major parts of the html document. Also I may suggest if you decide to learn html, then branch off into css, and/or javascript & php.
