HTML5 is the latest version of HTML that replaces HTML 4 and XHTML and introduces new features for richer content without plugins. It is designed to work cross-platform on PCs, tablets, smartphones and smart TVs. HTML5 was a collaborative effort between the W3C and WHATWG to standardize new features based on HTML, CSS, DOM and JavaScript while reducing dependencies on plugins. New features include 2D drawing with <canvas>, multimedia playback with <audio> and <video>, local storage, semantic elements representing different types of content, and new form controls.
