HTML version

HTML 2.0

HTML 2.0 was developed by the HTML Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force in 1996.

HTML 2.0 is an outdated version of HTML. Currently available browsers on the market all depend on updated versions of HTML. There is no need for a web developer to use the HTML 2.0 standard.

HTML 3.2

HTML 3.2 was released as a W3C standard on January 14, 1997. HTML 3.2 added widely used features to the HTML 2.0 standard, such as fonts, tables, applets, text flow around images, superscript and subscript.

One of the elements added to the 1997 HTML 3.2 standard - the <font> tag - brought unnecessary trouble to the important task of separating HTML content and presentation.

HTML 4.0

As a W3C recommendation, HTML 4.0 was released on December 18, 1997. The second version, which only made some editorial corrections, was released on April 24, 1998.

The most important feature of HTML 4.0 is the introduction of style sheets (CSS).

Our W3C CSS This section summarizes the W3C CSS activities.

HTML 4.01

As a W3C recommendation, HTML 4.01 was released on December 24, 1999.

HTML 4.01 is a minor update to HTML 4.0, making corrections and fixing bugs.

W3C will not continue to develop HTML. The future work of W3C will focus on XHTML.

XHTML 1.0 (latest version of HTML)

XHTML 1.0 re-represented HTML 4.01 using XML.

As a W3C recommendation, XHTML 1.0 was released on January 20, 2000.

Our W3C XHTML This section summarizes the W3C XHTML activities.

HTML 5

The W3C released the HTML 5 draft on January 22, 2008.

Through the establishment of precise rules on how to handle all HTML elements and how to recover from errors, HTML 5 has improved interoperability and reduced development costs.

As novas características do HTML 5 incluem funcionalidades de incorporação de áudio, vídeo e gráficos, armazenamento de dados no cliente e documentos interativos.

O HTML 5 também inclui novos elementos, como: <nav>, <header>, <footer> e <figure> etc.

O grupo de trabalho HTML 5 inclui: AOL, Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, Opera e centenas de outros fornecedores.
