HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
The
W3C
attempted to stem the tide by
publishing a draft standard,
HTML3
. It
wasn't compatible with either of the major
browsers, so it struggled to gain traction.
A short-term compromise was reached in
HTML 3.2
. This more closely reflected the

Many of the features proposed for
HTML3
were carried forward to the spec
for
HTML4
.
