HTML 5

Abstract

HTML, its first version was based on SGML with a twist, attributes that allow the connection between one page and another. The standards previously controlled by CERN and IETF are now controlled by W3C. During this time, HTML has undergone several changes. With the division of the group’s development of HTML and of forms, WHATWG was created and soon after joined with W3C to develop a new specification for HTML called HTML 5. It main objective is to facilitate the manipulation of the element allowing the developer to modify the characteristics of objects. This way, this new version becomes attractive for both sides. The article presents the evolution of HTML to HTML 5, illustrating the new elements, syntax, body, constructors, and an overview of the effects of this development to web evolution, with interactive documents lighter and with more pleasing result.
