HTML History
HTML was created by Tim Berners-Lee in the late 1980s as a way to share scientific documents among
researchers.
HTML is a very evolving markup language and has evolved with
various versions updating. Long before its revised standards and
specifications are carried in, each version has allowed its user
to create web pages in a much easier and prettier way and make
sites very efficient.

The first version of HTML, HTML 1.0, was released in 1993 and included a limited set of tags for
creating basic web pages.
