<img> and "},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"code","href":"./Template:Code"},"params":{"lang":{"wt":"html"},"1":{"wt":"<input>"}},"i":0}}]}'><input> directly introduce content into the page. Other tags such as "},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"code","href":"./Template:Code"},"params":{"lang":{"wt":"html"},"code":{"wt":"<p>"}},"i":0}}]}'><p> and its corresponding closing tag "},"parts":[{"template":{"target":{"wt":"code","href":"./Template:Code"},"params":{"lang":{"wt":"html"},"code":{"wt":"</p>"}},"i":0}}]}'></p> surround and provide information about document text and may include sub-element tags. Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to interpret the content of the page.

HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript, which affects the behavior and content of web pages. The inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), former maintainer of the HTML and current maintainer of the CSS standards, has encouraged the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML Since 1996, the HTML specifications have been maintained, with input from commercial software vendors, by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). In 2000, HTML became an international standard (ISO/IEC 15445:2000). HTML 4.01 was published in late 1999, with further errata published through 2001. In 2004, development began on HTML5 in the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), which became a joint deliverable with the W3C in 2008, and was completed and standardized on 28 October 2014.

HTML 3

edit

14 January 1997: HTML 3.2 was published as a W3C Recommendation. Following the IETF's closure of its HTML Working Group on September 12, 1996, this was the first version developed and standardized exclusively by the W3C. Initially code-named "Wilbur", HTML 3.2 dropped math formulas entirely, reconciled overlap among various proprietary extensions and adopted most of Netscape's visual markup tags. Netscape's blink element and Microsoft's marquee element were omitted due to a mutual agreement between the two companies. A markup for mathematical formulas similar to that of HTML was standardized 14 months later in MathML.

HTML 4

edit

18 December 1997

HTML 4.0 was published as a W3C Recommendation. It offers three variations:

Strict, in which deprecated elements are forbidden
Transitional, in which deprecated elements are allowed
Frameset, in which mostly only frame related elements are allowed.

Initially code-named "Cougar", HTML 4.0 adopted many browser-specific element types and attributes, but also sought to phase out Netscape's visual markup features by marking them as deprecated in favor of style sheets. HTML 4 is an SGML application conforming to ISO 8879 – SGML.

24 April 1998

HTML 4.0 was reissued with minor edits without incrementing the version number.

24 December 1999

HTML 4.01 was published as a W3C Recommendation. It offers the same three variations as HTML 4.0 and its last errata were published on 12 May 2001.

May 2000

ISO/IEC 15445:2000 ("ISO HTML", based on HTML 4.01 Strict) was published as an ISO/IEC international standard. In the ISO, this standard is in the domain of the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 34 (ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1, Subcommittee 34 – Document description and processing languages).

After HTML 4.01, there were no new versions of HTML for many years, as the development of the parallel, XML-based language XHTML occupied the W3C's HTML Working Group.
