HTML5
HTML5 is the new HTML specification currently being developed by
the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) and Web Hypertext Application Technology Working
Group (WHATWG). Both W3C and WHATWG have working documents for
the new specification (HTML5: A Vocabulary and Associated API???s for HTML
and XHTML';this.style.color = '#ff0000';" onMouseOut = "this.innerHTML = 'HTML5: A Vocabulary and Associated API???s for HTML
and XHTML';this.style.color = '#000000';">HTML5: A Vocabulary and Associated API???s for HTML
and XHTML and HTML: Living Standard respectively';this.style.color = '#ff0000';" onMouseOut = "this.innerHTML = 'HTML: Living Standard respectively';this.style.color = '#000000';">HTML: Living Standard respectively) withthe same definition of HTML5:The World Wide Web's markuplanguage has always been HTML. HTML was primarily designed as alanguage for semantically describing scientific documents, althoughits general design and adaptations over the years have enabled itto be used to describe a number of other types of documents.Themain area that has not been adequately addressed by HTML is a vaguesubject referred to as Web Applications. This specificationattempts to rectify this, while at the same time updating the HTMLspecifications to address issues raised in the past few years.TheWHATWG also has a visual representation of where HTML5 fits withthe other specifications.
One major difference between HTML5 and the earlier specification
is the addition of JavaScript API???s (Application Programing
Interfaces). JavaScript is a client side scripting language having
it as part of the HTML web page means that it is up to the browser
to do something with it. (Devlin 2012)
