History of HTML

Tim Berners-Lee developed and defined the HTML language, which was created and defined using SGML(Standard Generalized Markup Language), during the development cycle for the first Web browser/editor from October to December 1990.

The standards for HTML are currently being developed by a worldwide industry consortium known as the W3C. This work was carried out previously by the IETF.
