A different version of HTML was released to keep up with the growth and demands of web-based services.
Version 2.
The last version is the latest version, or HTML 5.
This is false, the newest version of HTML is HTML 5.
The recent version of HTML is HTML 4.0. Nowadays this version is widely used to make web pages.
HTML was originally developed as an application inside SGML, but the first official version was HTML 2.0
Each browser has its own individual version, which does not relate to HTML. The current version of HTML is version 5 and any up to date browser should be able to manage it.
The most recent version of HTML is HTML 5. 5, however, is still a W3C draft (meaning they haven't finalized it.) At the present time, it seems unlikely that this will ever occur. (Instead, the W3C will likely create a language to supersede HTML 5.) The last set of accepted changes to the HTML 5 specification was on 29 March, 2012. The most recent complete version of an HTML-like language was XHTML 1.1. It was last changed 10 November, 2010.
HTML started out just as HTML. As the web developed further, HTML2 was eventually released to allow more functions or formatting. As time went on, HTML, like all other computer related things, continued to get better. Every time there was a large update, there was a new version. The newest version is HTML5.
Version 5.
We should be concerned about different HTML versions due to functionality difference. Latest versions have depreciated some of older version tags.
HTML is the structure of a webpage. HTML is the outdated version. The newest versions are html5 and xhtml.
The current HTML version is the version 5. It has a special feature of HTML Authentication which was not in the before versions.
