History of (HTML)
HTML is a markup language used primarily to create hypertext Web pages, which are
published on the Web and displayed in any Web browser. A markup language is a set of
notations that specifies how the content should look in the browser. HTML is derived from
Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), which is the mother language of HTML.
SGML is a markup language that defines the structure of other markup languages.
HTML has evolved over the years with the introduction of improved set of standards and
specifications. HTML 1.0 was the first version of HTML introduced in 1993. At that time,
there were very less people involved in designing Web sites. HTML 2.0 was introduced in
1995 and included the complete HTML 1.0 specifications with additional features. The other
versions are as follows:
HTML 3.0
HTML 3.0 specifications included new features for the Netscape Navigator browser as
it became very popular. The new improvements did not work on any other browsers
such as Internet Explorer. Therefore, this specification was abandoned.
HTML 3.2
Additional browser-specific features revolutionized the need for standardization of
HTML. Therefore, the World Wide Consortium (W3C) organization was formed to specify
and maintain the HTML standards. HTML 3.2 was the first specification introduced by
W3C in January 1997 and was fully supported by all the Web browsers.
HTML 4.0
W3C introduced HTML 4.0 in December 1997 with the motive for facilitating support
for CSS, DHTML, and JavaScript. However, HTML 4.0 prevailed for a short period and
was revised, which led to HTML 4.01 specification in 1999.
HTML5
HTML5 is cooperative project between the W3C and the Web Hypertext Application
Technology Working Group (WHATWG).
W3C was busy working with XHTML 2.0 and WHATWG was working with Web forms,
new HTML features, and applications. In 2006, the two groups decided to work together
and develop a new version of HTML.
Some basic rules for HTML5 that were established are as follows:
Introduction of new features should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and
JavaScript
