HTML is just the markup language, excluding CSS and JS.
HTML5 is the basket of technologies that make "modern" web apps possible.
- SimeVidas 7y agoThat was true maybe 5–10 years ago. I’m saying that this term is no longer used today, in 2019. Do you seriously still use it in discussions with your colleagues, on social media, etc.?
- gridlockd 7y agoI'd be more likely to use "web app", "web platform" or "web technology" among developers. However, I never use the term "HTML" to refer to that. Among non-developers, using the term HTML5 is definitely common. To them, it's basically the distinction between "before Flash" and "after Flash".
