HTML/Training/What Is HTML?: Published Year

HTML is a markup language used to structure and present content for the web. It was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991 at CERN. HTML uses tags to mark elements like paragraphs, headings, images, and more. The language has gone through several revisions over time from HTML to newer standards like HTML5. HTML pages are made up of content between an opening and closing <html> tag along with other tags that provide metadata and structure the visible content on the page.

What is HTML
HTML is a Markup Language for creating Web pages.

Description
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. It is used to create Web pages. That is, Web pages all over the
world consist of HTML.
We can look at how other people have coded their Web pages. Click on the "View" menu and then on "Source".

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Sample Web page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Here is a paragraph</p>
</body>

History
The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the publishing language of the World Wide Web. The first version of
HTML was described by Tim Berners-Lee in late 1991. For its first five years (1990-1995), HTML went through a
number of revisions and experienced a number of extensions, primarily hosted first at CERN, and then at the IETF.

With the creation of the W3C, HTML's development changed venue again. A first abortive attempt at extending
HTML in 1995 known as HTML 3.0 then made way to a more pragmatic approach known as HTML 3.2, which
was completed in 1997. HTML4 followed, reaching completion in 1998.
