HTML means HyperText Mark Language.
The history behind HTML goes back 1980 when Tim Berners-Lee, who was working at CERN, develop a new sistem for sharing information: HTML.
Tim made a compilation about the web technologies ancestor of HTML and developed It with others engineers help. Together created the internet protocol W3, the World Wide Web!
Nowadays all the people know the internet was created by the United States army, and that is true but Internet like the thing is today is not just a hardware system, It’s a protocol too, and this part was created in Europe, in the CERN.
It was not an accident, It happened becouse in the CERN was generated so much information that was necessary a new way to share this information more easily.
You can see, the first official document published by W3 in 1991 here.
Since then the new attempts to create the HTML standar was made by IETF, Internet Engineers Task Force, who presented the HTML y HTML+ in 1995, but it failed.
It was in 1996 when the W3C began to create standars for HTML. On 14 of January of 1997 was published the first standar, It was called HTML 3.2.
It is a short history about HTML, and the complete history is enough long and It will be shown in other posts later.
