The web is relentlessly budding, everyday one hears about the new and innovative websites creation, pushing the limitations of HTML in every course. HTML 5.0 is the new version of HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).

Publishers are constantly in quest of new techniques which can provide enhanced functionality and reduce the constraints of the language and browsers. HTML 4.0, which is nearly decade old, has been replaced by HTML 5.0. This new version of HTML provides more flexibility and interoperability to publishers and facilitates more interactive websites and user friendly applications.

Wide range of features including multimedia, structure, semantics and form controls are some of the key features of HTML 5.0. The concept of HTML 5.0 has envisaged and pioneered by W3C HTML WG and the WHATWG. HTML 5.0 has introduced a whole bunch of new elements which are helpful in structuring pages in fraction of seconds very easily.

Despite HTML 5.0 markup being very close to SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), the same is not based on SGML. However, it is intended to be backward compatible with common parsing of earlier versions of HTML. This new version of HTML incorporates both HTML 4.0 and XHTML 1.0 features and also introduces enhanced features like updated web forms, new design elements and dynamic graphic capabilities.

Introduction of this new version is apparently being notified as an important feature in good website designing. Any good website designer will use not loose the chance of using HTML 5.0 to make good websites. HTML 5.0 is being used by almost 2 lac developers across world because of its API (Application Programming Interface) Engine feature. Having been used be 2 lac developers in such a small span shows the beauty of the language.
