The Past - HTML V1

• it was one language
• it was easy to learn and write by hand
• it allowed images to be include in text
• it allowed hyperlinks to be put onto text or images.

Example - an address list:

 <html/>
	<head/>
	</head/>
	<body/>
		<h2/> Ivan Herman </h2/>
			<p/>
				W3C Offices, CWI, Netherlands
	</body/>
</html/>

which is displayed as:

Ivan Herman

W3C Offices, CWI, Netherlands

• HTML V1 combined content and presentation
• HTML V1 had no data typing, no continuous media, no clear semantics
