Abstract

In the brief history of the World Wide Web (WWW), much has changed. Millions of web pages have been published in a relatively short time. Next to the Web content, the one of the most dynamic aspects of the WWW is the development of HyperText Markup Language (HTML). This paper explores the various versions of HTML and gives a status report on HTML standards development. A discussion of possible future trends is also included.
