What is HTML?
The Hypertext Markup Language was developed by Tim Berners-Lee
and scientist at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN). During the
development of the World Wide Web, scientists realized that they needed a language that
would support the sharing of information through a common interface and could be published by anyone. Scientist looked at the Standard
Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that was already in use by most publishing
software. SGML is an advanced and complex markup language that would not meet the
requirement of easy to use by anyone
Using a subset of SGML, CERN created HTML that is used to publish all
information on the Web today.
The original HTML specification created by CERN is
the standard for all web publishing. Since that time, other specifications and extensions
to the HTML standard have been created. Currently Web publishers have three levels of HTML
specifications and several extensions available for developing Web documents.
