Welcome to Introduction to HTML.

After watching this video, you will be able to


explain what Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) and
HTML5 is, and
list the objectives of HTML5.
The core HTML specification includes this background information.
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language, which can be thought of as “the language
of the Internet.”
It is a markup language that was originally designed for sharing scientific
documents.
Adaptations to HTML over the years made it suitable to describe a number of other
types
of documents that can be displayed as web pages on the Internet.
HTML Elements are the building blocks of an HTML page.
The pieces of content that form the page are assigned labels such as “paragraph,”
“list,”
and “table”.
They are represented by tags.
Browsers do not display the tags but use them to render the content.
HTML has been in continuous evolution since it was introduced to the Internet in
the early
1990s by CERN: The European Organization for Nuclear Research
and the IETF: Internet Engineering Task Force.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) made a number of recommendations to the HTML
standards
over the years.
New features were continually added, and specifications changed over time.
Initially, the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) worked
on recommendations
independently.
Then, in 2007, W3C formed a working group chartered to work with the WHATWG on the
development
of the HTML5 specification.
The W3C published the specification under the W3C copyright, while a version with a
less restrictive license was kept on the WHATWG site.
Since 2007, both the W3C and WHATWG groups worked together on the development of
the
HTML5 standard.
The HTML5 specification, as drafted by W3C, includes the following objectives:
The HTML5 specification defines a single language called HTML5 that can be written
in HTML or
XML syntax.
The HTML5 specification defines a processing model that can interoperate with
earlier HTML
implementations.
HTML5 improves the markup for documents.
HTML5 includes markup and APIs for idioms, such as web storage, video, and audio
content.
When speaking about
about creating web pages, developers may use the terms HTML and HTML5
interchangeably.
In general, the term HTML implies HTML5.
Use the full term HTML5 if you need to differentiate
between versions, such as when discussing features new to HTML5.
In this course, HTML refers to HTML5, unless specified otherwise.
In this video, you learned:
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, a markup language that enables documents
to
be displayed as web pages on the Internet.
Tags represent the elements of an HMTL page like paragraphs, lists, and tables.
HTML5, the latest version, supports
pages written in HTML or XML syntax,
interoperation with earlier HTML versions, and
markup and APIs for web storage, video, and audio content.
