HTML5
Also known as HTML 5
HTML5 (Hypertext Markup Language 5) is a markup language used for structuring and presenting hypertext documents on the World Wide Web. It was the fifth and final major HTML version that is now a retired World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation. The current specification is known as the HTML Living Standard. It is maintained by the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG), a consortium of the major browser vendors (Apple, Google, Mozilla, and Microsoft).
AI overview
HTML5 is a markup language used to structure and present documents on the web, and it was the fifth major version of HTML before being retired as an official standard. It matters because it represented a significant evolution in how web content is created and displayed, though web development now follows the HTML Living Standard maintained by major browser companies instead.
