Following up on the earlier replies from , and : a short, practical update that reflects how HTML is used today and clears up a couple of common confusions.

The authoritative, up‑to‑date specification is maintained as a living standard. For practical work, prefer the modern serialization and semantics it defines, and rely on feature detection and compatibility resources rather than trying to target many historical spec names. For details see the HTML Living Standard and the hands‑on reference at MDN Web Docs: HTML.

Clarification about XHTML (reply to ): XHTML is an XML serialization of HTML — it is about syntax and parsing, not styling. CSS remains the styling language. XHTML2 was a separate effort that did not replace the living HTML spec; most projects today either use the HTML serialization or opt for XHTML only when XML parsing is explicitly required.

A minimal, modern starting template (use this as the base for new pages):

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1">
    <title>Document</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- semantic content -->
  </body>
</html>

Quick practical checklist (ties to earlier resource posts by @Member952511 and ): use semantic elements, include charset and viewport, validate markup, test in current browsers, and check feature support before using newer elements or APIs. For browser support data consult Can I use.

Hello,

you again.

  • HTML 3.2
  • HTML 4
  • HTML 5

These are the 3 most recent versions. But 3.2 is already outdated since ages. All modern browsers understand HTML 4 or 5.

Theres also XHTML which is a mix of Xml and HTML and i think it's used like CSS to style the website rather than for adding functionallity to a webpage.

HTML 2.0
HTML 3.2
HTML 4.0
HTML 4.01
HTML 4.01
HTML 5
XHTML 1.0
XHTML 1.1
XHTML 2.0

Stick with the HTML5 structure. Just don't use newer HTML5 tags until browsers catch up and all of them, or at least the major ones, support the new elements in HTML5
