When is html 5.0 coming out?

what does this have to do with linux programming. o.o

I think it's called XML

I suspect that HTML will slowly be phased out; I'd be surprised if there are any more significant revisions to it, given that there are far better alternatives now. In particular, XHTML 2.0 is supposed to leave out a lot of backwards compatibility for HTML.

Check out the HTML Activity Statement for an idea of HTML's future.

Actually I was just reading that XHTML 1.0 is set to replace HTML as the standard set by the w3c organization. Same thing, with a few changes.

HTML has nothing to do with programming though. It's a markup language, not a programming language.

I'm sure no one here knows when 5.0 is going to come out... until it does. They've been on 4.0 for years now, I really don't see anything that would cause a new version, etc.

And HTML questions are welcome here or in the General forum.

Regards.

Actually, the latest was 4.1, and then XHTML 1.0 and 1.1 replaced HTML as the official markup language of the W3C. Soon, XHTML 2.0 will come out, and it's supposed to be entirely different than 1.1, not even a stepping stone but HTML will be completely phased out. Good riddance, and yet at the same time, it was like we didn't spend enough time together...

Anyway, everyone will soon enough be using XML with XSLT to create "intelligent websites so it doesn't matter that HTML 5.0 will never come out.

There is no 4.1, there is 4.01 (which is essentially the same as 4.0).

There will be no HTML 5.0. HTML 4.01 was the last W3C recommendation for normal HTML. XHTML 1.1 is the current recommendation, and that's mostly XHTML 1.0 with some modularization and the addition of some internationalization features, as far as I know. As others have said, XHTML 2.0 is going to remove the deprecated features from XHTML 1.x and move to a syntax that separates structure from presentation. This is how the W3C has wanted HTML to be since forever anyway.

Can I resurrect this thread to show how we were wrong?

Although I like the direction it took. :-)

No, it's not a programming language. You cannot write a program that can do things with HTML.

pr_deltoid · 06-10-2010, 11:47 AM

It technically isn't. I read even the w3 writings and documentation and what-not has never called it a programming language or referred to it as a programming language.
