HTML or HyperText
Markup Language is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information that can be
displayed in a web browser.
HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like
<html>), within the web page content. HTML tags most commonly come in
pairs like <h1>and </h1>, although some tags represent empty
elements and so are unpaired,
for example <img>. The first tag in a
pair is the start tag, and
the second tag is the end tag (they are also called opening tags and closing
tags). In between these tags web designers can add text, further tags, comments and other types of text-based content.
The purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose
them into visible or audible web pages. The browser does not display the HTML
tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page.
HTML elements form the building
blocks of all websites. HTML
allows images and objects to be embedded and can be used to
create interactive forms. It
provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs,
lists, links, quotes and other
items. It can embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior of HTML web
pages.
The latest version of HTML is HTML 5.
HTML5
is the latest standard for HTML. The
previous version of HTML, HTML 4.01, came in 1999, and the internet has changed
significantly since then. HTML5 was
designed to replace both HTML 4, XHTML, and the HTML DOM Level . It was specially designed to deliver rich
content without the need for additional plugins. The current version delivers everything from
animation to graphics, music to movies, and can also be used to build
complicated web applications. HTML5 is
also cross-platform. It is designed to
work whether you are using a PC, or a Tablet, a Smartphone, or a Smart TV.

How Did HTML5 Get Started?
HTML5 is a cooperation
between the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application
Technology Working Group (WHATWG). WHATWG
was working with web forms and applications, and W3C was working with XHTML
2.0. In 2006, they decided to cooperate and create a new version of HTML. Some rules for HTML5 were established:
- New features should be based on
HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript
- The need for external plugins
(like Flash) should be reduced
- Error handling should be easier
than in previous versions
- Scripting has to be replaced by
more markup
- HTML5 should be device-independent
- The development process should be
visible to the public
