Difference between HTML and HTML 5
Before moving to the difference between both of these broader terms first it is important to define the mark up language as abbreviation for HTML is Hyper Text Mark-up Language where mark-up language is used to define the text document within tag which defines the structure of web pages.So HTML is the combination of Hypertext and Mark-up language.As already understood that HTML 5 is the advance version of HTML so on the basis of additional features in HTML 5 there are notable differences.
Following are the important differences between HTML and HTML 5
| Sr. No. | Key | HTML | HTML 5 |
