Other rulings include Landmark Communications v. Virginia in which the court ruled for fining a newspaper for revealing the identity of a judge under investigation by state commissioner H. Warrington Sharp . The Burger Court also established a moratorium on capital punishment in Furman v. Georgia ( 1972 ) , holding that states generally awarded death sentences arbitrarily and inconsistently . The moratorium , however , was lifted four years later in Gregg v. Georgia ( 1976 ) . Also in United States v. Nixon ( 1974 ) , the court ruled that the courts have the final voice in determining constitutional questions and that no person , not even the President of the United States , is completely above law .

Chief Justice William Rehnquist served from Burger 's retirement in 1986 until his own death on September 3 , 2005 . The Rehnquist Court generally took a limited view of Congress 's powers under the commerce clause , as exemplified by United States v. Lopez ( 1995 ) . The Court made numerous controversial decisions , including Texas v. Johnson ( 1989 ) , which declared that flag burning was a form of speech protected by the First Amendment ; Lee v. Weisman ( 1992 ) , which declared officially - sanctioned , student - led school prayers unconstitutional ; Stenberg v. Carhart ( 2000 ) , which voided laws prohibiting late - term abortions ; and Lawrence v. Texas ( 2003 ) , which struck down laws prohibiting sodomy . ( Some commentators see these decisions as part of the `` culture wars . '' ) Another controversial decision of the Rehnquist court in 2003 was Grutter v. Bollinger which upheld affirmative action . Perhaps the most controversial decision made by the Court came in Bush v. Gore ( 2000 ) , which ended election recounts in Florida following the presidential election of 2000 , allowing George W. Bush to become the forty - third U.S. President .

Chief Justice John G. Roberts was confirmed by the United States Senate on September 29 , 2005 , and presided over the Court for the first time on October 3 , 2005 , the day the 2005 -- 2006 session opened . On October 31 , 2005 , President George W. Bush announced that he was nominating Samuel Alito to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor , and Bush submitted the nomination to the Senate on November 10 , 2005 . Under Roberts the Court has drifted primarily to the right in areas like the death penalty ( Kansas v. Marsh ) , abortion ( Gonzales v. Carhart ) , the exclusionary rule for Fourth Amendment violations ( Hudson v. Michigan ) , and campaign - finance regulation ( Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ) . On November 20 , 2007 , the Court agreed to hear a case , District of Columbia v. Heller , that was regarded as the first important and historically significant decision on the Second Amendment to the Constitution since 1875 . On March 18 , 2008 , the Supreme Court heard arguments concerning the constitutionality of a District of Columbia ban on handguns . On June 26 , 2008 , the Supreme Court ruled that `` The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia , and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes , such as self - defense within the home .

Llano Uplift
837894971_594-1424
The Llano uplift is a low geologic dome that is about 90 miles ( 140 km ) in diameter . It consists of an island - like exposure of Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks surrounded by outcrops of Paleozoic and Cretaceous sedimentary strata . At their widest , the exposed Precambrian rocks extend about 65 miles ( 105 km ) westward from the valley of the Colorado River and beneath a broad , gentle topographic basin drained by the Llano River . The subdued topographic basin is underlain by Precambrian rocks and bordered by a discontinuous rim of flat - topped hills . These hills are the dissected edge of the Edwards Plateau , which consist of overlying Cretaceous sedimentary strata . Within this basin and along its margin are down - faulted blocks and erosional remnants of Paleozoic strata which form prominent hills .
Llano Uplift
837894971_1425-1686
The Llano Uplift is well known for its large , granite domes , such as Enchanted Rock . The area includes several major rock quarries like Granite Mountain that mine the distinctive pink granite . Further , the area contains the only known deposits of llanite .
Llano Uplift
837894971_1968-2714
The Llano Uplift can be considered an uplift by either its pattern on a geological or structural map of the top of the Precambrian rocks . It qualifies as an uplift because it consists of an extensive Precambrian basement high that is exposed by virtue of its surface lying significantly above in elevation the surface of surrounding Precambrian basement . However , the Llano Uplift may not have been ever uplifted as a distinct entity and at a single time as an basement high . Rather , it formed by the areas surrounding it having subsided around it and the Precambrian rocks underlying it having been elevated by the formation and interaction of multiple geologic structures at multiple times during the Carboniferous and Cretaceous periods .

Precambrian rocks directly underlie the surface of the central and topographically lowest part of the Llano Uplift within a low - relief basin drained of the Llano River and eastward to the valley of the Colorado River . These rocks consist of about 900,000 km ( 350,000 sq mi ) of Middle Proterozoic crystalline basement exposed in an erosional window eroded through overlying Phanerozoic sedimentary strata . The Precambrian basement is cut by numerous normal and oblique - slip faults , the result of the Ouachita Orogeny , that juxtapose Paleozoic strata with the Precambrian rocks .

The Precambrian rocks consist of multiply deformed , metasedimentary , metavolcanic and metaplutonic rocks that range in age from 1.37 to 1.23 Ga . These metamorphic rocks have been intruded by 1.13 to 1.07 Ga , syntectonic to post-tectonic granites . These rocks can be divided into three fault - bounded blocks of strata called domains . They are called the Valley Spring , Packsaddle , and Coal Creek domains . Each of these domains contain distinctive rock types and ages and were either erupted , intruded , or deposited in three separate areas and later tectonically juxtaposed during the Grenville Orogeny . The Valley spring domain consists mainly of gneiss that is composed of quartz and microcline feldspar with minor biotite and hornblende . Likely , this gneiss consists of highly metamorphosed sedimentary , volcanic , and intrusive rocks that include rhyolite lava flows and ash - flow tuffs ; igneous intrusions ; and arkose interbedded with minor limestone , and shale . The age of these metamorphic rocks range from range from 1.29 to 1.23 Ga . The Packsaddle domain consists mainly of ( schist ) ) s composed of hornblende , biotite , muscovite , and actinolite ; marbles and calc - silicate rocks ; quartzites ; and quart - feldspar gneiss . These rocks were likely originally marine limestone , shale , and sandstone interbedded with mafic and felsic volcanic rocks and intrusive sills . They date from 1.27 to 1.25 Ga . Granitic sills that intrude these rocks have been dated from 1.255 to 1.250 Ga . The Coal Creek domain consists of a 6.4 kilometers ( 4.0 mi ) - long mass of serpentinite that is surrounded by meta - igneous quartz - plagioclase gneiss of the Big Branch Gneiss . The gneiss has been dated at 1.33 to 1.30 Ga and was metamorphosed about 1.29 Ga , earlier than any other Llano metamorphic rocks . Coal Creek domain also contains diorite plutons , gabbro , amphibolite , mafic schist , minor talc , and smaller serpentinite bodies , all of which were metamorphosed about 1.26 Ga . The Coal Creek domain appears to represent fragments of an island arc with a slice of oceanic mantle faulted into it .

After 1.2 Ga , a global cycle of continental collision and the resulting mountain formation , globally called the Grenville orogeny , and locally called the Llano Orogeny , tectonically shoved and interleaved together these strata . They were also further altered by metamorphism into the rocks that outcrop today in the Llano Uplift . Large granitic plutons that locally form a large percentage of the outcrop in some areas and a llanite dike also intruded them . During the 400 - million year interval between the emplacement of llanite and the start of Middle Cambrian sedimentation , erosion removed several kilometers of Precambrian rock .
Llano Uplift
837894971_6166-7468
Within and around the Llano uplift are erosional remnants and down - faulted blocks of Lower Paleozoic sedimentary strata . Within the Llano Uplift , these remnants and fault blocks often form prominent hills . The Lower Paleozoic strata are composed of over 600 meters ( 2,000 ft ) of Cambrian sandstones , limestones , and dolomites of the Moore Hollow Group and Lower Ordovician limestone and dolomite of the Ellenburger Group . The Moore Hollow Group which consists of the Hickory sandstone , Cap Mountain limestone , and Lion Mountain sandstone , and the Wilberns Formation , which consists of sandstone , limestone , shale , and an upper mixture of limestone and dolomite . The Ellenburger Group is an incomplete sequence of Lower Ordovician strata , which is known as from the base up , the Tanyard , Gorman , and Honeycut Formations . Both formations contains both limestones and dolomites . The limestones and dolomites of the Ellenburger Group are typically nonglauconitic and sparingly fossiliferous . An erosional , pre-Devonian paleosurface with well - developed paleo karst truncates the Ellenberger Group such that it thins from a thickness of 570 meters ( 1,870 ft ) in the southeastern corner of the Llano region to only 250 meters ( 820 ft ) in the northwestern corner of the region .
Llano Uplift
837894971_7469-8415
The Moore Hollow Group records the advancing of a sea from the southeast across eroded Precambrian rocks during Middle to Late Cambrian times and subsequent burial beneath coastal and nearshore marine sediments . The Cambrian sea spread northward across the eroded surface an area of Precambrian rocks that had a local relief as great as 240 meters ( 790 ft ) . As a result , sediments composed of locally derived residuum , often wind - abraded accumulated as a thin , discontinuous cobble conglomerate overlying Precambrian strata at the base of the Moore Hollow Group . Following the deposition of the uppermost Cambrian limestones and dolomites , the Lower Ordovician Ellenburger Group ( composed of the Tanyard , Gorman , and Honeycut Formations ) accumulated within shallow - water carbonate platforms . At the end of the Lower Ordovician , the Central Texas region was tilted eastwards and exposed to subaerial erosion and karstification .

837894971_8416-8912
Possible reworked Middle Ordovician conodonts ( Chirognathus ) have been found in younger strata and a pocket of Upper Ordovician limestone , the Burnam Limestone , is preserved in a collapse structure in Burnet County . The reworked conodonts and the Burnam Limestone indicate that that the region of the Llano Uplift was likely either partially and briefly submerged during the Middle and Upper Ordovician only to have the sediments deposited during these inundations removed by later erosion .
Llano Uplift
837894971_8965-10304
Within the Llano Uplift , fossiliferous Silurian and Devonian strata occur preserved as the fills of solution and collapse structures that vary in size from large structural sinks to crack fillings a few inches or less in width . Isolated deposits of fossiliferous Starcke Limestone preserved in ancient sinkholes developed in the Ellenberger Group provide definite evidence of the Llano region having been inundated by marine waters at least once during the Silurian Period . Fossiliferous Devonian limestones of various types that are preserved in cave fills , collapse depressions , and other paleokarst features develop in the Ellenberger Group also demonstrate that the Llano region was also episodically inundated by marine waters during the Devonian period . During periods of subaerial exposure , these deposits were largely stripped from the region of the Llano Uplift . The pockets and remnants of Devonian strata preserved in paleokarst included the Bear Spring Formation , Pillar Bluff Limestone , Stribling Formation , and , in part , the Houy Formation . Breccias found at the base of the base of the pockets of Devonian strata likely represent a mixture of residuum developed by the subaerial , in situ dissolution of underlying limestones and dolomites and residuum eroded and redeposited by an advancing marine shoreline .
Llano Uplift
837894971_10359-11026
Like the Devonian strata found in the Llano Uplift , early Carboniferous ( Mississippian ) strata , the youngest black shale of the Houy Formation , the crinoidal limestone of Chappel Limestone and the black shale Barnett Formation consist of at most a few meters of strata preserved within collapse structures and other paleokarst . As in case of the Devonian and Silurian strata found within the Llano uplift , these strata represent brief periods of inundation of the region by shallow epicontinental seas and marine sedimentation alternating with long periods of terrestrial exposure during which these marine sediments were almost completely removed by erosion .
Llano Uplift
837894971_11027-12044
Late Carboniferous ( Lower Pennsylvanian ) strata are in large part exposed in three non-contiguous areas . First , an isolated areal exposure of Smithwick Shale and underling Marble Falls Limestone occurs near Marble Falls , Texas , area in southwestern Burnet County . Second , in southwestern Mason County and northeastern Kimble County , late Carboniferous Marble Falls Limestone overlying relatively thin early Carboniferous strata is exposed within a half dozen , isolated fault blocks on the southwestern periphery of the Llano region . Finally , late Carboniferous are exposed as within a triangular shaped region that is bisected by the Colorado River along the northwest , north , and northeast periphery of the Llano region in McCulloch , San Saba , and Lampasas counties . In this area , Marble Falls Limestone , Smithwick Shale , and lower Strawn Group are well exposed . The strata of the lower Strawn Group are truncated by an erosional unconformity that is overlain by much younger Cretaceous strata .
Llano Uplift
837894971_12045-13181
The succession of Carboniferous strata within and adjacent to the Llano Uplift records the pronounced subsidence and filling of the adjacent Fort Worth Basin by the westward progradation of delta and associated fluvial systems from the uplifted Ouachita Mountains to the east . The Chappell Limestone and Barnett Shale represent episodic early Carboniferous inundations of the Llano region followed its submergence and formation of a carbonate platform within which the Marble Falls Limestone accumulated as a lateral equivalent to deeper water Smithwick Shale . As the Fort Worth Basin deepened and sank in responses to the Ouachita Orogeny , Smithwick Shale was deposited on former sites of Marble Falls sedimentation within the Llano Uplift region . In the deeper part of the Llano region , basin - fill shale and submarine fan deposits that form the lower Strawn Group accumulated . As the basin filled during the remainder of the Carboniferous and Permian , fluvial - deltaic sediments and associated shallow marine continental shelf deposits of the upper Strawn , Canyon , and Cisco group accumulated within the Fort Worth Basin .

The only Mesozoic rocks that are known in the Llano region are those of the Cretaceous system . Throughout Triassic and Jurassic periods , the Llano region was eroded . The accumulation of Triassic , terrestrial red beds of the Dockham Group may have reached to the western edge Llano region . However , they were eroded back to its present position and underlying strata eroded during the Triassic and Jurassic in response regional tilting and uplift .
Llano Uplift
837894971_13654-14235
By the time that the regions of the Llano Uplift was slowly covered by Cretaceous sedimentary deposits , it had been reduced by erosion to a low relief erosion surface termed the Wichita paleoplain . What little research has been conducted on the Wichita paleoplain estimates that as much as 33 meters ( 108 ft ) of relief exists on this surface cut into the underlying strata . During the Cretaceous , this surface was progressively buried by the accumulation of fluvial and coastal sediments of the Trinity Group and later by the Walnut , Comanche Peak , and Edwards formations .

Erosion that has occurred since the withdrawal of Cretaceous seas has resulted in a topographic inversion . as a result , the oldest and structurally highest rocks tend to occur at the lowest topographic elevations . Where the Cretaceous rocks rim the Llano uplift , a sharp topographic rise or escarpment is common .

The Llano Uplift region is also called the Central Mineral region of Texas because of the occurrence of the great variety of minerals found in and the numerous ore propsecting pits dug into exposed Precambrian rocks and Lower Paleozoic strata . Over the decades , a few small mines have yielded yttrium and other rare - earth minerals , magnetite , feldspar , vermiculite , serpentine , and gem quality topaz . Briefly , galena as lead ore was mined from limestone lying uncomfortably upon granite knobs that were once hills before being submerged by rising relative sea level in the Cambrian . Minor showings of gold , silver , copper , tin , bismuth , molybdenum , tungsten , and uranium minerals have been found and explored in prospecting pits . Before it closed in 1980 , the Southwestern Graphite mine northwest of Burnet , Texas , was the only major producer of high - purity graphite in North America for several decades . Also , in the past , large quantities of soapstone were excavated from outcrops south of Llano , Texas , and ground for use as insecticide carrier and inert filler in various products . The principal mineral resources currently produced from Central Mineral region consist of fracturing sand ( `` Frac sand '' ) , crushed stone , and building stone . Granite has been quarried from almost innumerable localities and the active production of dimension stone continues today from a dome of coarse pink Town Mountain Granite near Marble Falls , Texas .

Although the school has links to a seventeenth century school that existed in Wath , the current institution was founded in 1923 as Wath Secondary School . It was located on Park Road , sitting on the site of what is now Wath Central Primary School . The school was controlled by West Riding County Council .

816830679_2340-2758
Wath Secondary School rapidly outgrew its original building , which led to lessons taking place in a number of borrowed locations scattered throughout Wath . To rectify this , the school moved into new , purpose - built accommodation on Sandygate in 1930 . The institution became known as Wath - upon - Dearne Grammar School in 1931 . The school was expanded with many new buildings and extensions in the early 1950s .

In January 1964 , with the scrapping of the eleven - plus exam in the area , the school absorbed the neighbouring Park Road Secondary Modern School , although it was some time before it was designated a comprehensive school in 1972 and renamed Wath Comprehensive School in 1974 ( which coincided with the school coming under the control of Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council ) . The secondary modern site became the first year wing of the school . Due to expansion , the school also reoccupied a corner of the Wath Central Primary School site for a period , making a total of three sites . The school was awarded language college status in 2001 .

Over time , the school 's buildings , on all three sites , aged badly . In its 1997 report on the school , Ofsted described the accommodation as ' quite appalling ' , ' debilitating ' and ' some of the worst working conditions the inspection team has seen ' . The Inspectors highlighted ' damp seeping through the walls and ceilings ' , ' decaying door and window fittings ' , ' areas of crumbling asphalt and potholes ' and ' falling plaster ' , before going on to conclude :

Floors are bowing and lifting in the IT rooms . In the sixth form common room , which is insufficient for the number of students , roof slates are missing , causing ceilings to collapse during wet weather . The roof also leaks in the girls ' changing rooms , where pupils often have to move clothing to keep it from getting wet . Changing accommodation overall is insufficient . Many paths and steps are in a dangerous state of repair . No pupils should be expected to endure such conditions . --

The school was rebuilt from 2003 to 2005 , under the Private Finance Initiative ( PFI ) initiative . A new building on Sandygate , opened after Easter 2005 , now makes up the majority of the school accommodation . Some parts of the school dating back from the 1950s ( such as the hall ) survive , though none of the older 1930s buildings were retained . The loss of the oldest buildings was not without controversy , particularly the traditional 1930s part of the school which was set around two quadrangles . As a result of the rebuild , the school became single - site for the first time since the 1960s , though some of the school 's playing fields are still on the old Park Road site . In 2008 , the rebuilding was fully completed with the addition of a public leisure centre , including a swimming pool . The old caretaker 's house on the school grounds is now used as the isolation block .

Only ten years after it was built , the school has already outgrown its new building . The school has an official capacity of 1,740 students , but numbers have grown to over 1,900 . Plans have been drawn up for a 12 classroom overspill building , but the school has twice been denied the funds for construction . In 2014 , Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council chose not to fund the building because a third of Wath 's students do not live within the local authority 's boundaries , meaning the building would not , in the council 's eyes , benefit the people of Rotherham enough . The funding therefore went to a similar building at Wickersley School and Sports College , which was not as overcapacity as Wath , but does draw all its students from the borough of Rotherham . In 2015 , the school secured funding from the Department for Education for the building , but this was withdrawn as part of cuts in 2016 . Later in 2016 , the local council proposed an extension of five classrooms , in return for the school taking on 20 additional students a year .

The school transitioned from being a community school to a co-operative trust foundation school on 1 September 2013 .

The school 's coat of arms , introduced in the 1940s , features a torch ( in heraldry , this represents truth and knowledge ) and a river ( representing the River Dearne ) . The sixth form has its own coat of arms , which includes a miner 's axe ( representing Wath - upon - Dearne 's major industry when the arms were designed ) , a book ( representing learning ) and the river . The sixth form coat of arms was used for the whole school from the 1930s until the 1940s . The school 's motto , featured on both coats of arms , is Meliora Spectare , Latin for ' Look to Better Things ' .

The school 's uniform consists of a maroon blazer with a badge of the school coat of arms ( a black blazer with a badge of the sixth form coat of arms for the sixth form ) , a white shirt / blouse , a school tie , black trousers / skirt and an optional v - neck jumper / cardigan . There are different ties for the main school , sixth form and prefects . Until the late 1990s , girls were forbidden from wearing trousers , though also did not have to wear blazers .

The school is notable for its size . It opened with 77 students in 1923 , though had 520 students by 1929 ( making it the fourth largest school in the West Riding local education authority area ) . Numbers then grew gradually , though were boosted to around 1,500 in the 1960s due to the closing of Park Road Secondary Modern School . The school expanded again from the late 1970s , particularly boosted by the closure of the nearby Brampton Ellis Comprehensive School in 1985 , and eventually reached 1,750 students . Numbers were at this level until as recently as 2007 . However , further rises in student numbers ( partially the sixth form , which has swelled from 300 to 400 students ) have taken the total number of students to over 1,900 : 300 students in each of Years 7 to 11 , with 200 in each year of the sixth form . As of 2013 , the school is the 24th largest in England .

In 2016 , the school 's Progress 8 score , which measures the progress made by students between the end of Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4 ( GCSE ) , was ' average ' . Its Attainment 8 score , which converts GCSE and other qualification grades into points , was 49.8 ( above the national average of 48.5 ) . The percentage of students achieving GCSE grades A * -- C in English and Maths was 64 % ( above the national average of 59 % ) . The percentage of students achieving the English Baccalaureate was 43 % ( almost double the national average of 23 % ) , with entries for the EBacc being 61 % ( again , considerably above the national average of 36.8 % ) .

The progress of vocational students was + 0.29 ( placing it in the top top third of schools nationally ) , with an average grade of Distinction+ . The progress rates for students resitting GCSEs were + 0.64 grades for English and + 0.5 grades for Maths ( well above the national averages of -- 0.1 and -- 0.13 respectively ) .

Hypertext Markup Language ( HTML ) is the standard markup language for creating web pages and web applications . With Cascading Style Sheets ( CSS ) and JavaScript it forms a triad of cornerstone technologies for the World Wide Web . Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and render them into multimedia web pages . HTML describes the structure of a web page semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document .
HTML
805841444_1665-2378
HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages . With HTML constructs , images and other objects , such as interactive forms , may be embedded into the rendered page . It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings , paragraphs , lists , links , quotes and other items . HTML elements are delineated by tags , written using angle brackets . Tags such as < img / > and < input / > introduce content into the page directly . Others such as < p > ... < / p > surround and provide information about document text and may include other tags as sub-elements . Browsers do not display the HTML tags , but use them to interpret the content of the page .
HTML
805841444_2379-2733
HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript which affect the behavior and content of web pages . Inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content . The World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C ) , maintainer of both the HTML and the CSS standards , has encouraged the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML since 1997 .

In 1980 , physicist Tim Berners - Lee , a contractor at CERN , proposed and prototyped ENQUIRE , a system for CERN researchers to use and share documents . In 1989 , Berners - Lee wrote a memo proposing an Internet - based hypertext system . Berners - Lee specified HTML and wrote the browser and server software in late 1990 . That year , Berners - Lee and CERN data systems engineer Robert Cailliau collaborated on a joint request for funding , but the project was not formally adopted by CERN . In his personal notes from 1990 he listed `` some of the many areas in which hypertext is used '' and put an encyclopedia first .
HTML
805841444_4142-4607
The first publicly available description of HTML was a document called `` HTML Tags '' , first mentioned on the Internet by Tim Berners - Lee in late 1991 . It describes 18 elements comprising the initial , relatively simple design of HTML . Except for the hyperlink tag , these were strongly influenced by SGMLguid , an in - house Standard Generalized Markup Language ( SGML ) - based documentation format at CERN . Eleven of these elements still exist in HTML 4 .
HTML
805841444_4608-5621
HTML is a markup language that web browsers use to interpret and compose text , images , and other material into visual or audible web pages . Default characteristics for every item of HTML markup are defined in the browser , and these characteristics can be altered or enhanced by the web page designer 's additional use of CSS . Many of the text elements are found in the 1988 ISO technical report TR 9537 Techniques for using SGML , which in turn covers the features of early text formatting languages such as that used by the RUNOFF command developed in the early 1960s for the CTSS ( Compatible Time - Sharing System ) operating system : these formatting commands were derived from the commands used by typesetters to manually format documents . However , the SGML concept of generalized markup is based on elements ( nested annotated ranges with attributes ) rather than merely print effects , with also the separation of structure and markup ; HTML has been progressively moved in this direction with CSS .
HTML
805841444_5622-6447
Berners - Lee considered HTML to be an application of SGML . It was formally defined as such by the Internet Engineering Task Force ( IETF ) with the mid-1993 publication of the first proposal for an HTML specification , the `` Hypertext Markup Language ( HTML ) '' Internet Draft by Berners - Lee and Dan Connolly , which included an SGML Document type definition to define the grammar . The draft expired after six months , but was notable for its acknowledgment of the NCSA Mosaic browser 's custom tag for embedding in - line images , reflecting the IETF 's philosophy of basing standards on successful prototypes . Similarly , Dave Raggett 's competing Internet - Draft , `` HTML+ ( Hypertext Markup Format ) '' , from late 1993 , suggested standardizing already - implemented features like tables and fill - out forms .
HTML
805841444_6448-6706
After the HTML and HTML+ drafts expired in early 1994 , the IETF created an HTML Working Group , which in 1995 completed `` HTML 2.0 '' , the first HTML specification intended to be treated as a standard against which future implementations should be based .
HTML
805841444_6707-7335
Further development under the auspices of the IETF was stalled by competing interests . Since 1996 , the HTML specifications have been maintained , with input from commercial software vendors , by the World Wide Web Consortium ( W3C ) . However , in 2000 , HTML also became an international standard ( ISO / IEC 15445 : 2000 ) . HTML 4.01 was published in late 1999 , with further errata published through 2001 . In 2004 , development began on HTML5 in the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group ( WHATWG ) , which became a joint deliverable with the W3C in 2008 , and completed and standardized on 28 October 2014 .

November 24 , 1995 HTML 2.0 was published as IETF RFC 1866 . Supplemental RFCs added capabilities : November 25 , 1995 : RFC 1867 ( form - based file upload ) May 1996 : RFC 1942 ( tables ) August 1996 : RFC 1980 ( client - side image maps ) January 1997 : RFC 2070 ( internationalization )

January 14 , 1997 HTML 3.2 was published as a W3C Recommendation . It was the first version developed and standardized exclusively by the W3C , as the IETF had closed its HTML Working Group on September 12 , 1996 . Initially code - named `` Wilbur '' , HTML 3.2 dropped math formulas entirely , reconciled overlap among various proprietary extensions and adopted most of Netscape 's visual markup tags . Netscape 's blink element and Microsoft 's marquee element were omitted due to a mutual agreement between the two companies . A markup for mathematical formulas similar to that in HTML was not standardized until 14 months later in MathML . December 18 , 1997 HTML 4.0 was published as a W3C Recommendation . It offers three variations : Strict , in which deprecated elements are forbidden Transitional , in which deprecated elements are allowed Frameset , in which mostly only frame related elements are allowed . Initially code - named `` Cougar '' , HTML 4.0 adopted many browser - specific element types and attributes , but at the same time sought to phase out Netscape 's visual markup features by marking them as deprecated in favor of style sheets . HTML 4 is an SGML application conforming to ISO 8879 -- SGML . April 24 , 1998 HTML 4.0 was reissued with minor edits without incrementing the version number . December 24 , 1999 HTML 4.01 was published as a W3C Recommendation . It offers the same three variations as HTML 4.0 and its last errata were published on May 12 , 2001 . May 2000 ISO / IEC 15445 : 2000 ( `` ISO HTML '' , based on HTML 4.01 Strict ) was published as an ISO / IEC international standard . In the ISO this standard falls in the domain of the ISO / IEC JTC1 / SC34 ( ISO / IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 , Subcommittee 34 -- Document description and processing languages ) . After HTML 4.01 , there was no new version of HTML for many years as development of the parallel , XML - based language XHTML occupied the W3C 's HTML Working Group through the early and mid-2000s . October 28 , 2014 HTML5 was published as a W3C Recommendation . November 1 , 2016 HTML 5.1 was published as a W3C Recommendation . HTML

October 1991 HTML Tags , an informal CERN document listing 18 HTML tags , was first mentioned in public . June 1992 First informal draft of the HTML DTD , with seven subsequent revisions ( July 15 , August 6 , August 18 , November 17 , November 19 , November 20 , November 22 ) November 1992 HTML DTD 1.1 ( the first with a version number , based on RCS revisions , which start with 1.1 rather than 1.0 ) , an informal draft June 1993 Hypertext Markup Language was published by the IETF IIIR Working Group as an Internet Draft ( a rough proposal for a standard ) . It was replaced by a second version one month later , followed by six further drafts published by IETF itself that finally led to HTML 2.0 in RFC 1866 . November 1993 HTML+ was published by the IETF as an Internet Draft and was a competing proposal to the Hypertext Markup Language draft . It expired in May 1994 . April 1995 ( authored March 1995 ) HTML 3.0 was proposed as a standard to the IETF , but the proposal expired five months later ( 28 September 1995 ) without further action . It included many of the capabilities that were in Raggett 's HTML+ proposal , such as support for tables , text flow around figures and the display of complex mathematical formulas . W3C began development of its own Arena browser as a test bed for HTML 3 and Cascading Style Sheets , but HTML 3.0 did not succeed for several reasons . The draft was considered very large at 150 pages and the pace of browser development , as well as the number of interested parties , had outstripped the resources of the IETF . Browser vendors , including Microsoft and Netscape at the time , chose to implement different subsets of HTML 3 's draft features as well as to introduce their own extensions to it . ( see Browser wars ) . These included extensions to control stylistic aspects of documents , contrary to the `` belief ( of the academic engineering community ) that such things as text color , background texture , font size and font face were definitely outside the scope of a language when their only intent was to specify how a document would be organized . '' Dave Raggett , who has been a W3C Fellow for many years , has commented for example : `` To a certain extent , Microsoft built its business on the Web by extending HTML features . '' January 2008 HTML5 was published as a Working Draft by the W3C . Although its syntax closely resembles that of SGML , HTML5 has abandoned any attempt to be an SGML application and has explicitly defined its own `` html '' serialization , in addition to an alternative XML - based XHTML5 serialization . 2011 HTML5 -- Last Call On 14 February 2011 , the W3C extended the charter of its HTML Working Group with clear milestones for HTML5 . In May 2011 , the working group advanced HTML5 to `` Last Call '' , an invitation to communities inside and outside W3C to confirm the technical soundness of the specification . The W3C developed a comprehensive test suite to achieve broad interoperability for the full specification by 2014 , which was the target date for recommendation . In January 2011 , the WHATWG renamed its `` HTML5 '' living standard to `` HTML '' . The W3C nevertheless continues its project to release HTML5 . 2012 HTML5 -- Candidate Recommendation In July 2012 , WHATWG and W3C decided on a degree of separation . W3C will continue the HTML5 specification work , focusing on a single definitive standard , which is considered as a `` snapshot '' by WHATWG . The WHATWG organization will continue its work with HTML5 as a `` Living Standard '' . The concept of a living standard is that it is never complete and is always being updated and improved . New features can be added but functionality will not be removed . In December 2012 , W3C designated HTML5 as a Candidate Recommendation . The criterion for advancement to W3C Recommendation is `` two 100 % complete and fully interoperable implementations '' . 2014 HTML5 -- Proposed Recommendation and Recommendation In September 2014 , W3C moved HTML5 to Proposed Recommendation . On 28 October 2014 , HTML5 was released as a stable W3C Recommendation , meaning the specification process is complete . XHTML

XHTML is a separate language that began as a reformulation of HTML 4.01 using XML 1.0 . It is no longer being developed as a separate standard .
HTML
805841444_14181-15068
XHTML 1.0 was published as a W3C Recommendation on January 26 , 2000 and was later revised and republished on August 1 , 2002 . It offers the same three variations as HTML 4.0 and 4.01 , reformulated in XML , with minor restrictions . XHTML 1.1 was published as a W3C Recommendation on May 31 , 2001 . It is based on XHTML 1.0 Strict , but includes minor changes , can be customized , and is reformulated using modules in the W3C recommendation `` Modularization of XHTML '' , which was published on April 10 , 2001 . XHTML 2.0 was a working draft , work on it was abandoned in 2009 in favor of work on HTML5 and XHTML5 . XHTML 2.0 was incompatible with XHTML 1. x and , therefore , would be more accurately characterized as an XHTML - inspired new language than an update to XHTML 1. x . An XHTML syntax , known as `` XHTML5. 1 '' , is being defined alongside HTML5 in the HTML5 draft .
HTML
805841444_15076-15538
HTML markup consists of several key components , including those called tags ( and their attributes ) , character - based data types , character references and entity references . HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like < h1 > and < / h1 > , although some represent empty elements and so are unpaired , for example < img > . The first tag in such a pair is the start tag , and the second is the end tag ( they are also called opening tags and closing tags ) .
HTML
805841444_15539-15648
Another important component is the HTML document type declaration , which triggers standards mode rendering .
HTML
805841444_15649-15881
The following is an example of the classic `` Hello , World ! '' program , a common test employed for comparing programming languages , scripting languages and markup languages . This example is made using 9 source lines of code : <
HTML
805841444_16025-16262
( The text between < html > and < / html > describes the web page , and the text between < body > and < / body > is the visible page content . The markup text `` < title > This is a title < / title > '' defines the browser page title . )
HTML
805841444_16263-16427
The Document Type Declaration < ! DOCTYPE html > is for HTML5 . If a declaration is not included , various browsers will revert to `` quirks mode '' for rendering .
HTML
805841444_16465-16614
HTML documents imply a structure of nested HTML elements . These are indicated in the document by HTML tags , enclosed in angle brackets thus : < p >
HTML
805841444_16615-16829
In the simple , general case , the extent of an element is indicated by a pair of tags : a `` start tag '' < p > and `` end tag '' < / p > . The text content of the element , if any , is placed between these tags .
HTML
805841444_16830-17018
Tags may also enclose further tag markup between the start and end , including a mixture of tags and text . This indicates further ( nested ) elements , as children of the parent element .
HTML
805841444_17019-17347
The start tag may also include attributes within the tag . These indicate other information , such as identifiers for sections within the document , identifiers used to bind style information to the presentation of the document , and for some tags such as the < img > used to embed images , the reference to the image resource .
HTML
805841444_17348-17552
Some elements , such as the line break < br > , do not permit any embedded content , either text or further tags . These require only a single empty tag ( akin to a start tag ) and do not use an end tag .
HTML
805841444_17553-17889
Many tags , particularly the closing end tag for the very commonly used paragraph element < p > , are optional . An HTML browser or other agent can infer the closure for the end of an element from the context and the structural rules defined by the HTML standard . These rules are complex and not widely understood by most HTML coders .
HTML
805841444_17890-18543
The general form of an HTML element is therefore : < tag attribute1 = `` value1 '' attribute2 = `` value2 '' > ' ' content ' ' < / tag > . Some HTML elements are defined as empty elements and take the form < tag attribute1 = `` value1 '' attribute2 = `` value2 '' > . Empty elements may enclose no content , for instance , the < br > tag or the inline < img > tag . The name of an HTML element is the name used in the tags . Note that the end tag 's name is preceded by a slash character , `` / '' , and that in empty elements the end tag is neither required nor allowed . If attributes are not mentioned , default values are used in each case . Element

Headings : HTML headings are defined with the < h1 > to < h6 > tags : <
HTML
805841444_19038-19383
Line breaks : < br > . The difference between < br > and < p > is that `` br '' breaks a line without altering the semantic structure of the page , whereas `` p '' sections the page into paragraphs . Note also that `` br '' is an empty element in that , although it may have attributes , it can take no content and it may not have an end tag . <

Structural markup indicates the purpose of text For example , < h2 > Golf < / h2 > establishes `` Golf '' as a second - level heading . Structural markup does not denote any specific rendering , but most web browsers have default styles for element formatting . Content may be further styled using Cascading Style Sheets ( CSS ) . Presentational markup indicates the appearance of the text , regardless of its purpose For example , < b > boldface < / b > indicates that visual output devices should render `` boldface '' in bold text , but gives little indication what devices that are unable to do this ( such as aural devices that read the text aloud ) should do . In the case of both < b > bold < / b > and < i > italic < / i > , there are other elements that may have equivalent visual renderings but that are more semantic in nature , such as < strong > strong text < / strong > and < em > emphasised text < / em > respectively . It is easier to see how an aural user agent should interpret the latter two elements . However , they are not equivalent to their presentational counterparts : it would be undesirable for a screen - reader to emphasize the name of a book , for instance , but on a screen such a name would be italicized . Most presentational markup elements have become deprecated under the HTML 4.0 specification in favor of using CSS for styling . Hypertext markup makes parts of a document into links to other documents An anchor element creates a hyperlink in the document and its href attribute sets the link 's target URL . For example , the HTML markup , < a href = `` http://www.google.com/">Wikipedia</a > , will render the word `` Wikipedia '' as a hyperlink . To render an image as a hyperlink , an `` img '' element is inserted as content into the `` a '' element . Like `` br '' , `` img '' is an empty element with attributes but no content or closing tag . < a href = `` http://example.org '' > < img src = `` image. gif '' alt = `` descriptive text '' width = `` 50 '' height = `` 50 '' border = `` 0 '' > < / a > .

Most of the attributes of an element are name - value pairs , separated by `` = '' and written within the start tag of an element after the element 's name . The value may be enclosed in single or double quotes , although values consisting of certain characters can be left unquoted in HTML ( but not XHTML ) . Leaving attribute values unquoted is considered unsafe . In contrast with name - value pair attributes , there are some attributes that affect the element simply by their presence in the start tag of the element , like the ismap attribute for the img element .

The id attribute provides a document - wide unique identifier for an element . This is used to identify the element so that stylesheets can alter its presentational properties , and scripts may alter , animate or delete its contents or presentation . Appended to the URL of the page , it provides a globally unique identifier for the element , typically a sub-section of the page . For example , the ID `` Attributes '' in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML#Attributes The class attribute provides a way of classifying similar elements . This can be used for semantic or presentation purposes . For example , an HTML document might semantically use the designation class = `` notation '' to indicate that all elements with this class value are subordinate to the main text of the document . In presentation , such elements might be gathered together and presented as footnotes on a page instead of appearing in the place where they occur in the HTML source . Class attributes are used semantically in microformats . Multiple class values may be specified ; for example class = `` notation important '' puts the element into both the `` notation '' and the `` important '' classes . An author may use the style attribute to assign presentational properties to a particular element . It is considered better practice to use an element 's id or class attributes to select the element from within a stylesheet , though sometimes this can be too cumbersome for a simple , specific , or ad hoc styling . The title attribute is used to attach subtextual explanation to an element . In most browsers this attribute is displayed as a tooltip . The lang attribute identifies the natural language of the element 's contents , which may be different from that of the rest of the document . For example , in an English - language document : < p > Oh well , < span lang = `` fr '' > c'est la vie < / span > , as they say in France. < / p >
