HTML defines the structure of web pages using a variety of elements and attributes. These elements include headings, paragraphs, links, images, tables, and more, each serving a specific purpose in presenting content.
1989: Tim Berners-Lee, a physicist at CERN, proposed a system for sharing documents using hypertext in 1989.

1995: In 1995, HTML 2.0 was introduced and it includes The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) published, standardizing HTML's initial features and adding support for forms and tables.
1997: HTML 3.2 was developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and introduced new features like applets, scripting, and improved support for tables and forms. HTML 4.0 further enhanced features, supporting more complex layouts and richer web applications. It also introduced the separation of content and presentation with the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).
1999: A minor revision to HTML 4.0, and HTML 4.01, fixed several issues and clarified existing elements.
2008: Work on HTML5 began to address the limitations of HTML 4.01 and to incorporate features needed for modern web applications. HTML5 introduced new semantic elements (e.g., `article`, `section`, `nav`), multimedia elements (e.g., `audio`, `video`), and APIs for complex web applications. Emphasis on improving the handling of multimedia, form elements, and web storage.
2014: HTML5 was officially standardized by W3C in October 2014. HTML5.1 and later versions continued to refine and add features, addressing the evolving needs of web development.
