HTML 2
November 24, 1995
HTML 2.0 was published as RFC 1866. Supplemental RFCs added capabilities:

 November 25, 1995: RFC 1867 (form-based file upload)


 May 1996: RFC 1942 (tables)
 August 1996: RFC 1980 (client-side image maps)
 January 1997: RFC 2070 (internationalization)
HTML 3
January 14, 1997
HTML 3.2[15] was published as a W3C Recommendation. It was the first version
developed and standardized exclusively by the W3C, as the IETF had closed its HTML
Working Group on September 12, 1996. [16]
Initially code-named "Wilbur",[17] HTML 3.2 dropped math formulas entirely, reconciled
overlap among various proprietary extensions and adopted most of Netscape's visual
markup tags. Netscape's blink element and Microsoft's marquee element were omitted
due to a mutual agreement between the two companies. [13] A markup for mathematical
formulas similar to that in HTML was not standardized until 14 months later in MathML.
HTML 4
December 18, 1997
HTML 4.0[18] was published as a W3C Recommendation. It offers three variations:

 Strict, in which deprecated elements are forbidden


 Transitional, in which deprecated elements are allowed
 Frameset, in which mostly only frame related elements are allowed.
Initially code-named "Cougar", [17] HTML 4.0 adopted many browser-specific element types
and attributes, but at the same time sought to phase out Netscape's visual markup
features by marking them as deprecated in favor of style sheets. HTML 4 is an SGML
application conforming to ISO 8879 – SGML.[19]
April 24, 1998
HTML 4.0[20] was reissued with minor edits without incrementing the version number.
December 24, 1999
HTML 4.01[21] was published as a W3C Recommendation. It offers the same three
variations as HTML 4.0 and its last errata were published on May 12, 2001.
May 2000
ISO/IEC 15445:2000[22][23] ("ISO HTML", based on HTML 4.01 Strict) was published as an
ISO/IEC international standard. In the ISO this standard falls in the domain of
the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34 (ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 34 –
Document description and processing languages). [22]
After HTML 4.01, there was no new version of HTML for many years as development of
the parallel, XML-based language XHTML occupied the W3C's HTML Working Group
through the early and mid-2000s.
HTML 5
Main article: HTML5
October 28, 2014
HTML5[24] was published as a W3C Recommendation. [25]
November 1, 2016
HTML 5.1[26] was published as a W3C Recommendation.[27][28]
December 14, 2017
HTML 5.2[29] was published as a W3C Recommendation.[30][31]
