    History of HTML versions

    HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, and it is the authoring


    language used to create documents on the World Wide Web. HTML is used to
    define the structure and layout of a Web page, how a page looks and any
    special functions. HTML does this by using tags that have attributes. For
    example <p> means a paragraph. As the viewer of a Web page you don't see
    the HTML as it is hidden from your view - you just see the results. But you
    all know that!

    HTML 1.0
    Below is a screenshot of Tim Berners-Lee's Browser Editor as developed in
    1991-1992.

    This was a true browser editor for the first version of HTML and ran on a
    NeXT workstation. Implemented in Objective-C, this very first browser
    in Web history made it easy to create, view and edit web documents.
    Hypertext Markup Language (First Version of HTML) was formally published
    in June 1993.

    HTML VERSIONS
    HTML is an evolving language. For Web sites and pages created since 1991,
    however, it is easy to find out which HTML version they use. A Document
    Type Declaration, or DOCTYPE, is a piece of HTML code that states which
    version of HTML is being used. This declaration must appear at the very top
    of every Web page.
    For example: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML
    4.01//EN"> tells that the document uses the HTML4.01 version.

    For those of you who are curious, the W3C published a document laying down
    the HTML5 Differences from HTML4 (the document was published in December
    2014, shortly after the release of HTML5). Read also the history section available in
    the HTML5.1 specification document.

    What is HTML5?
    On 28 October 2014, the W3C officially published HTML5 as a Web standard
    (or recommendation of HTML5). HTML5 is the fifth major revision of the
    format used to build Web pages and applications.
    HTML5 contains powerful capabilities for Web-based applications with
    more interaction, video support, graphics, more styling effects, and a full set
    of APIs. HTML5 adapts to any device, be it a desktop, mobile, tablet, or
    television device. HTML5 is an open platform developed under royalty free
    licensing terms.
    People use the term HTML5 in two ways:

    to refer to a set of technologies that together form the future Open


    Web Platform. These technologies include HTML5
    specification, CSS3, SVG, MathML, Geolocation, XmlHttpRequest, Context 2D, Web
    Fonts (WOFF) and others. The boundary of this set of technologies is informal and
    changes over time.

    to refer to the HTML5 specification, which is, of course, also part of the
    Open Web Platform.

    Although it would be great if people used one term to refer to the


    specification and another term to refer to the set of specifications, in practice
    people use the term both ways.
    When HTML5 became a Web standard, Tim Berners-Lee, Web inventor and
    W3C Director said:
    "Today we think nothing of watching video and audio natively in the
    browser, and nothing of running a browser on a phone. We expect to be able
    to share photos, shop, read the news, and look up information anywhere, on
    any device. Though they remain invisible to most users, HTML5 and the
    Open Web Platform are driving these growing user expectations."

    The HTML5 logo


    Here is the HTML5 logo! It has been unveiled on 18 January 2011, so way
    before HTML5 became a Web standard. This logo represents HTML5, the
    cornerstone for modern Web applications.

    Please check out both the HTML5 logo home page and the FAQ page for
    more information on how to use the logo, etc. You will notably find out that
    this logo does not imply validity or conformance, and that you are welcome
    to be creative and make it fit into your own designs.
