HTML Introduction
What is HTML?
An HTML is the element that is responsible for making any web page. HTML is an abbreviation of ‘Hyper Text Mark-up Language’. It is basic markup language that is used to make any web pages which further comprises to form websites.
HTML is invented by "Tim Burner’s Lee" in 1991 (but was not officially released). HTML is the main part of web design. Because all you see in browser is HTML. HTML consists specific element tags like <h1>, <h2>, <p>, <table>, <td>, <tr>, <li> etc.
History of HTML:
HTML was initially developed by W3C and WHATWG. It was initially developed in 1993. W3C mainly checks for standards of HTML and other stuff. Since the initial release, lots of version of Html has been developed. Initially, its version is 1.0 or simply HTML.
Different Versions of HTML:
- HTML 1.0 (1993) Just had 39 tags
- HTML 2 (1995)
- HTML 3.0 / 3.2 (WILBUR) (1997)
- HTML 4.0 (COUGAR) (Recommendation in December, 1997 and Standard as of April 1998)
- HTML 4.01 (late 1999) Majorly used version
- HTML 5 (Published in 2012 and still enhancing..)
HTML 1.0 (1993):
HTML 2 (1995):
Then arrived and included all the features of HTML 1.0 plus several new features for web page design.
HTML 2.0 has improved a lot in terms of the markup tags. In this version concept of forms came into force. Forms were developed but still, it was having basic tags like text boxes, buttons, etc.
Also, the table came as an HTML tag. Now, in HTML tag 2.0 browsers also came with the concept of creating own layers of tags that were specific to the browser itself. W3C was also formed. The main intention of W3C is to maintain standard across different web browsers so that these browsers understand and render HTML tags in a similar manner.
HTML 3.0 / 3.2 (1997):
HTML 2.0 served its purpose very well, but many people designing web pages (called HTML authors or webmasters) wanted more control over their web pages and more ways to mark up their text and enhance the appearance of their websites. Netscape, the leading browser at that time, introduced new tags and attributes called the “Netscape Extension Tags”. Other browsers tried to duplicate them but Netscape did not fully specify their new tags and so these extension tags did not work in most other browsers. It led to considerable confusion and problems when HTML authors used these tags and attributes and then saw that they didn't work as expected in other browsers.
HTML 4.0 / 4.01 (1999):
HTML 5 (Published in 2012):
- To improve the language.
- To support the latest multimedia. In order to accomplish this, some ground rules were established by the W3C and WHATWG. Among them were to reduce the need for external plug-ins (such as Flash plug-ins), better handling of errors, and more markup elements (tags). HTML5 should also be device independent (that is, understood by computers and the many devices in existence today) while also keeping it easily readable by us humans.
