HISTORY

OF HTML

¶ This is my paragraph. There are many like it, but this one is

mine.

¶ My paragraph is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it

as I must master my life.

¶ My paragraph, without me, is useless. Without my paragraph,

I am useless. I must word my paragraph true. I must write

straighter than my editor who is trying to kill me. I must write

before he corrects me. I will. . .

A SHORT

HISTORY

OF HTML

Becoming a Standard

HTML2 was introduced in

Geneva, May 1994

HTML2 spec, July 1994

IETF setup, Sept 1994

W3C launched in Dec 1994

HTML3 was a hot mess

Introduces tags like FONT FACE

and BGCOLOR

HTML no longer semantic

A SHORT

HISTORY

OF HTML

WAR!

IE fucks everyone, Aug 1995

Embeds ActiveX

NS invents craps, Sep 1995

Adds frames

Browser designers start

driving HTML standards

HTML4 was published

But no one fully supported it

A SHORT

HISTORY

OF HTML

Years wasted on XML

XHTML invented in 1999

No one used it

XHTML2 created in 2002

No one implemented it

HTML5

TBL basically forced W3C to draft HTML5 in 2006

W3C is utterly neutered

Largely a secretary for what the browser implementers want

Not necessarily a bad thing

Keeps implementers in sync

The cite element represents the title of a work … A person’s

name is not the title of a work … and the element must

therefore not be used to mark up people’s names.
