In the present essay about the similarities and differences of HTML 3,
HTML 4 and HTML 5, I would like to start by giving a brief illustration of HTML.
HTML is not a programming language but a language for modeling.
documents, that is to say, it is responsible for modeling information to present it to the
people found on a website. Basically all the codes
the sources of web pages have HTML, and their function is to work as tags,
because tags are a way to communicate with the browser and that always
must be enclosed within symbols called less than and greater than. The file
HTML is a plain text file, like a file that is written in a blog.
notes, that file is the one that allows us to create the code and information that we then
it's going to send to a browser, let's assume that in the code a tag is written
that says <title>company</title>, the browser will interpret it as a title. Anyway
HTML is used to describe the structure and content in text form, thus
to complement the text with objects such as images. Each version
HTML establishes rules regarding which tags are valid and how they
they must write.
The first version of HTML was published in 1995, in which it was simplified.
maximize the structure of the document to streamline its editing, where the statement
the explicit declaration of the body, html, and head elements is optional, as it did not support
tables. The second version was published two years later, continued with certain
parameters of the first version unlike it allowed to attach texts around
from the image. By the third version, the public's request is fulfilled, which was
tables allow for greater control over structure and presentation.
Similarly, HTML3 introduces a new element: the figure of numbers in
line. This provides for client-side management of hot zones
while cleaning catering for non-graphic browsers. The text can be
flowed around figures and one can control when to break the flow of starting a
new element. By version 4, there are mechanisms for style sheets,
execution of scripts, frameworks, included objects, enhanced support for text of
right to left and mixed directions, richer tables and improvements in
forms, offering accessibility improvements for people with disabilities.
And its latest HTML5 version can be said to be the most important since its
The objective is to improve through the incorporation of new attributes and labels.
Incorporates new elements not contemplated in HTML 4. There are new tags, it
introduce the possibility of directly embedding audio and video on the web without
the need for plugins or add-ons in browsers, and other news. In
compared to its previous versions, this one has better syntax, coding of
characters, new elements are included and the deleted attributes are available
better forms among other differences.
After various investigations, I have come to the conclusion that HTML has
I am evolving with the purpose that web pages can contain
information from text, image, audio, video or 3D objects, therefore I can say
that the first version of HTML did not contain files to view videos, or
