We are sure that you’ll agree that HTML is one of the best web inventions of all times. The hyper text markup language is actually the cornerstone of modern web that appears to be a unique and self-sufficient phenomenon.
When HTML5 was being developed its developers have faced the few important issues that were to be solved with the help of HTML5. And one of these problems was creating a really explicit and extensible semantics. Now the tricky part is that the old versions of HTML were also being designed with the versatility in mind – with loads of various tags that were considered absolutely essential but have eventually proved themselves to be totally useless. The approach in the HTML5 has been changed according to the needs of today’s Internet.
HTML5 New Tags
The task that had to be accomplished by the developers was to create the richer and meaningful semantics for HTML5 version – plus the fact that new solution was supposed to be flexible, strongly efficient and of course to correspond to all modern web standards. Now here comes the list of the new tags that will available in HTML5.
tag defines details of an element
tag defines information about a section in a document
tag defines marked text
tag defines ruby annotations.
Let’s just hope all of these will really be “alive” and useful tags, not just something we think is awesome today.
The Healing by HTML5 – Old Tags, Long Gone…
Now do you remember those old times when HTML3 was a sort of a miracle that could only be seen in Netscape? Yeah, it was the dawn of the Internet era. Of course we must never forget our history but it is a normal thing when we have to say good bye to some good old things (especially when they’re not that good and no one really cares about them anymore).
So, HTML5 developers have recalled some of the tags that only the HTML geeks remember and since those tags are so much obsolete they were excluded from the new HTML – which by the way we would like to thank the HTML5 developers for. After all these old tags are in fact so old that in 20 years our kids are likely to think that they were used by William Shakespeare in his sonets. Anyways, take a last look at the following archaic tags, the only chance to see them again is by visiting the Internet and HTML museum (is there a museum like that by the way?).
tag defines an acronym.
