Ted Nelson the sole inventor of the now popular
internet language HTML. HTML has been in use
by the World-Wide Web global since 1990. Previously,
informal documentation on HTML has been available
from a number of sources on the Internet. This specification
brings together, clarifies, and formalizes a set of features
that roughly corresponds to the capabilities of HTML
incommon use prior to June 1994. A number of new
features to HTML are being proposed and experimented
in the Internet community. HTML is an application of ISO
Standard 8879:1986, "Information Processing Text and Office
Systems; Standard Generalized Markup Language". The
HTML Document Type Definition is a formal definition
of the HTML syntax in terms of SGML. This specification
also definesHTML as an Internet Media Type and MIME Content
Type called `text/html'. As such, it defines the semantics
of the HTML syntax and how that syntax should be
interpreted by user agents.
