Berners-Lee created HTML in late 1991, but “HTML 2.0” was the first standard HTML specification published in 1995. HTML 4.01 was a major version of HTML published in late 1999. Though HTML 4.01 is widely used, we currently have the HTML-5 version, an extension to HTML 4.01 published in 2012. For more details visit the history of HTML
