5. Write a note on History of HTML.
Ans. The term ‘Hypertext’ was coined by Ted Nelson around 1965. It is a collection of documents containing
cross-references or ‘links’ which with the help of a browser program helps a user to move easily from one
document to other.
During 1980, IBM developed General Markup Language (GML), after which the (ANSI) American National
Standards Institute published a working draft of Standard GML or SGML.
SGML, which was comparatively a higher level markup language, was adopted by US Internal Revenue
Service and Department of Defense, USA.
Simplifying further, HTML was developed in 1990 as a subset of SGML, whose credit goes to Tim
Berners-Lee, a scientist at CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire, a European practical
physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland).
HTML and SGML, though are from the same family but only a few browsers support both. HTML was
designed to create web pages that can be viewed on any type of computer architecture or by using any
web browser on Internet.
