often we hear such word as HTML 5, and if we are not connected to IT sphere
this notion is rather vague for us. All in all, what does it mean?
HTML
(HyperText Markup Language) is the most vital piece of the cyberspace, which is
used to define the design of the webpage. HTML on its own is monotonous and to
make it alive CSS, JavaScript, Flash, Silverlight, etc. are used.
HTML Outline:
Firstly,
HML4 existed starting from 1997. Then in 2000 similar XHTML began its growth.
Narrow functionality was the main problem of HTML4, so Java and Flash were
introduced to make pages more complex and interesting.
Secondly,
all those additions created issues with the standards. Every browser
interpreted and displayed the data differently. And for developers the process
was complicated.
What lies under the notion of HTML5?
It has
such main principles:
It also
consists of great number of new tags:
<header> and <footer> — used
for separating upper and lower blocks of page.
<article> — important for distinct piece of text.
<nav> — is
created for navigation bar on the page.
<section> — much alike to existing <div> , which
detaches different pieces of information.
<audio> and <video> — adds audio and video
onto the page.
<canvas> — makes possible to create animation, images with the scripting
language.
<embed> — adds
content from outside the webpage into it.
Why is HTML5 important for us?
It is
supported by all browsers all over the world and webpages load faster, gadgets
work saving their battery. Moreover, no plugins should be updated.
If you
are only a user just update your browser. If you are a developer, then your
life became simpler.
Outcome:
HTML5 is
considered to be the forthcoming tool in Internet browsing. Its standards will
be completed till 2016.
