HTML

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language and is a computer language that is mainly used for the creation of web content. HTML is always composed inside an IDE, or Integrated Development Environment. Every HTML document is always appended with ".html". To see how the HTML code translates into content, simply open the document in a web browser and it will display the code in a human-readable format.

Brief History of HTML:

• The first publicly available description of HTML was first mentioned in a document on the internet called "HTML Tags" by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991.

• HTML 2.0 was published November 24, 1995 as RFC (Request for Comment) 1866.

• On January 14, 1997, HTML 3.2 was published as a W3C Recommendation. It was the first version developed and standardized exclusively by the W3C.

According to WHATWG (Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group), an organization that has been 'maintaining and evolving HTML since 2004', stated on their website:

"...we moved to a new development model, where the technology is not versioned and instead we just have a living document that defines the technology as it evolves."
