HTML was the past

• Remember:
  • it was one language
  • it was easy to learn and write by hand
  • it allowed images to be include in text
  • it allowed hyperlinks to be put onto text or images.
• Example - an address list:
  

   <html/>
          <head/>
          </head/>
          <body/>
                  <h2/> Oreste Signore </h2/>
                          <p/>
                                  W3C Office, CNR, Italy
          </body/>
  </html/>
  

  
  which is displayed as:

---

Oreste Signore

W3C Office, CNR, Italy

• HTML V1:
  • combined content and presentation
  • had no data typing, no continuous media, no clear semantics
