HTML defines the display or rendering of documents
HTML 3.2 (Jan 97) introduced tables, applets, and other capabilities (approx. 70 tags)
The final spec for HTML 4.0 was released by W3C in December 1997
There are three flavors:
  • HTML 4.0 Strict -- Full use of Style Sheets
  • HTML 4.0 Transitional -- Adapt existing world
  • HTML 4.0 Frameset -- If need multiframe window
HTML 4.0 has 93 elements (10 deprecated) and 187 attributes (49 deprecated)
HTML represents an object model for document display
HTML does NOT define an object model for document content -- XML does this
