HTML

HTML was first designed by physicist Tim Berners-Lee who was an independant contractor for CERN. He proposed the prototype ENQUIRE, which was for CERN researchers to use and share information, and later worked on the WorldWideWeb project with Robert Cailliau. The first publicly available description of HTML was a document called HTML Tags. HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. Many people use HTML as it is used in emails and the internet. HTML was first designed in 1989 and is still being used today by many people for their web pages. Web pages is the main application of HTML today. The two most recent versions of HTML are HTML 4.01 and ISO/IEC 15545:2000. HTML and its associated protocols gained acceptance relatively quickly. A good example of HTML would be:  Hello World and that would convert into: ** Hello World **
