What is HTML?
Author:Frank Coetzee
In computing, HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is a hypertext markup language designed for the creation of web pages and other information viewable in a browser. HTML is used to structure information -- denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists and so on -- and can be used to define the semantics of a document.
Originally defined as a highly simplified subset of SGML, HTML is now an international standard (ISO/IEC 15445:2000). The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) maintains the HTML specification.
Early versions of HTML were defined with looser syntactical rules, which helped its adoption by those unfamiliar with web publishing. Web browsers commonly made assumptions about intent, and proceeded with rendering of the page. Over time, the trend has been to create increasingly strict language syntax. HTML 4.01 is the current version of the HTML specification, although the W3C is moving toward replacing it with XHTML, which applies the stricter rules of XML to HTML.
