HTML is a markup language that web browsers use to interpret and compose text, images, and other material into visual or audible web pages. Inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content. HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript. It can be used to embed in-line images and other objects such as interactive forms.
About HTML in brief
HTML is a markup language that web browsers use to interpret and compose text, images, and other material into visual or audible web pages. Inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content. The World Wide Web Consortium has encouraged the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML since 1997. The first publicly available description of HTML was a document called \”HTML Tags\”, first mentioned on the Internet by Tim Berners-Lee in late 1991. It describes 18 elements comprising the initial, relatively simple design of HTML. 11 of these elements still exist in HTML 4. HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript, which affects the behavior and content of web pages, and can be used to embed in-line images and other objects such as interactive forms. It was formally defined as such by the Internet Engineering Task Force with the mid-1993 publication of the first proposal for an HTML specification, the \”Hypertext Markup Language \” Internet Draft. In late 1999, HTML became an international standard. In 2004, HTML 4 became a joint standard with Hypertext Application Technology Group, which became a working group of commercial software vendors. The HTML Working Group was established to deliver HTML 4 to commercial vendors. It is also a joint working group for Hypertext Technology Group (HTG) and the Web Standards Institute (WSI), which provides standards for Web standards. The WSI is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco, California, that promotes the development of web standards.
It has a mission to improve the quality of the Internet, including the development and use of Web technologies. In 2010, the WSI announced that it would no longer be funding the IETF’s work on HTML 4, and would instead focus on HTML 5, which it hopes will be a standard for all web browsers by 2015. The IETF is also working on HTML 6, which will be released in 2016. It will be the first HTML standard to include the ability to embed interactive forms and other features such as tables and fill-in-out text. It also includes a number of other features, such as the ability for web pages to be embedded in other languages such as Python and HTML5, that will be available in the future. The Web Working Group is also developing HTML 7, which is expected to be released by the end of the year. HTML 7 is the most recent version of the HTML specification. It includes the first version of HTML to be available to all web users, and is intended to be the basis for the next generation of web browsers. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. HTML elements are delineated by tags, written using angle brackets. Other tags such as
surround and provide information about document text and may include other tags as sub-elements. Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to interpret the content of the page.
