HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, which is the most widely used language on Web to develop web pages. HTML was created by Berners-Lee in late 1991 but "HTML 2.0" was the first standard HTML specification which was published in 1995. HTML 4.01 was a major version of HTML and it was published in late 1999. Though HTML 4.01 version is widely used but currently we are having HTML-5 version which is an extension to HTML 4.01, and this version was published in 2012.

Importants of HTML As mentioned before, HTML is one of the most widely used language over the web. I'm going to list few of them here:

  1. Web pages development

  2. Internet Navigation

  3. Responsive User Interface

  4. Offline support HTML pages once loaded can be made available offline on the machine without any need of internet.

  5. Game development
