Introduction to HTML
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is the most basic language, and simple to
learn and modify. It is a combination of both hypertext and markup language. It contains the
elements that can change/develop a web page’s look and the displayed contents. Or we can
say that HTML creates or defines the structure of web pages. We can create websites using
HTML which can be viewed on internet-connected devices like laptops, android mobile
phones, etc.
History of HTML
Once the initial version of HTML was out, then there were many updates. But the most
popular version of it was HTML4.01 which became the standard markup language in 1999.
Another crucial version, XHTML. It was the XML format of HTML; the XML language has been
used in creating many markup languages. The RSS and MathML are a few examples of
markup languages that are written using XML language. The XHTML language became a
standard markup language in 2000, and it got updated again in 2002. earlier, most of web
pages and applications used to be developed using HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0. However, in
recent years HTML5 has become the standard markup language for defining the various
attributes for web pages.
Features of HTML
HTML has covered a long journey from a simple concept of file sharing to defining web
elements. It has become a crucial thing to learn and use while building web pages and
applications. Currently, HTML5 is the latest version that is supported by most browsers. And
in the future, we can see an updated version of HTML5 again by W3C with additional
features. Hence, the use of HTML will continue, and developers will use it a lot to define
their website and its pages inaccurately.
Versions of HTML
HTML is a very evolving markup language and has evolved with various versions updating.
Long before its revised standards and specifications are carried in, each version has allowed
its user to create web pages in a much easier and prettier way and make sites very efficient.
HTML 1.0 was released in 1993 with the intention of sharing information that can be
readable and accessible via web browsers. But not many of the developers were involved in
creating websites. So the language was also not growing.
Then comes HTML 2.0, published in 1995, which contains all the features of HTML 1.0 along
with a few additional features, which remained the standard markup language for designing
and creating websites until January 1997 and refined various core features of HTML.
Then comes HTML 3.0, where Dave Raggett introduced a fresh paper or draft on HTML. It
included improved new features of HTML, giving more powerful characteristics for
webmasters in designing web pages. But these powerful features of the new HTML slowed
down the browser in applying further improvements.
Then comes HTML 4.01, which is widely used and was a successful version of HTML before
HTML 5.0, which is currently released and used worldwide. HTML 5 can be said for an
extended version of HTML 4.01, which was published in the year 2012.
