How Did HTML5 Get Started?
HTML5 is a cooperation between the World Wide Web Consortium
(W3C) and the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG).
WHATWG was working with web forms and applications, and W3C
was working with XHTML 2.0. In 2006, they decided to cooperate and create a new
version of HTML.
Some rules for HTML5 were established:
New features
should be based on HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript

for external plugins (like Flash)
Better error handling
More markup to
replace scripting
HTML5 should be
device independent
The development
process should be visible to the public
Minimum HTML5 Document
This is a simple HTML5 code, with the minimum of
required tags:
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the document</title>
</head>
<body>
The content of the document......
</body>
</html>
