the World Wide Web

It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard (created in 1990 and

standardized as HTML4 as of 1997) and, is still under development.

Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the

latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and

consistently understood by computers and devices
