HTML5?

HTML is a term we by now all should be familiar with. We learned it the first day of web design, and you probably all wrote its definition down into your notebooks – Hyper Text Markup Language. After doing some research concerning project one, I encountered the term HTML5. I had no idea of the existence of HTML 1-2-3-4 but call me a geek because for some reason I looked it up. I ended up on Wikipedia where a list of differences from HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.X (sigh, even the coding tool’s name’s looks like a codes) were listed and analyzed. I found that “a number of new elements and attributes that reflect typical usage on the modern website” were introduced. The syntax is no longer based on SGML, or Standard Generalized Markup Language (I looked it up). The list goes on and on, and if you’re interested in learning more check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5
