Abstract
This specification defines the HyperText Markup Language (HTML), the publishing
language of the World Wide Web. This specification defines HTML 4.01, which is a
subversion of HTML 4. In addition to the text, multimedia, and hyperlink features of
the previous versions of HTML (HTML 3.2 [HTML32] [p.356] and HTML 2.0
[RFC1866] [p.356] ), HTML 4 supports more multimedia options, scripting
languages, style sheets, better printing facilities, and documents that are more
accessible to users with disabilities. HTML 4 also takes great strides towards the
internationalization of documents, with the goal of making the Web truly World Wide.
HTML 4 is an SGML application conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 --
Standard Generalized Markup Language [ISO8879] [p.353] .

HTML 4.01 Specification
Status of this document
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication.
Other documents may supersede this document. The latest status of this document
series is maintained at the W3C.
This document specifies HTML 4.01, which is part of the HTML 4 line of
specifications. The first version of HTML 4 was HTML 4.0 [HTML40] [p.353] ,
published on 18 December 1997 and revised 24 April 1998. This specification is the
first HTML 4.01 Recommendation. It includes non-editorial changes since the 24
April version of HTML 4.0 [p.312] . There have been some changes to the DTDs, for
example. This document obsoletes previous versions of HTML 4.0, although W3C
will continue to make those specifications and their DTDs available at the W3C Web
site.
This document has been reviewed by W3C Members and other interested parties
and has been endorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. It is a stable
document and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative reference
from another document. W3C’s role in making the Recommendation is to draw
attention to the specification and to promote its widespread deployment. This
enhances the functionality and interoperability of the Web.
W3C recommends that user agents and authors (and in particular, authoring tools)
produce HTML 4.01 documents rather than HTML 4.0 documents. W3C
recommends that authors produce HTML 4 documents instead of HTML 3.2
documents. For reasons of backward compatibility, W3C also recommends that tools
interpreting HTML 4 continue to support HTML 3.2 and HTML 2.0 as well.
For information about the next generation of HTML, "The Extensible HyperText
Markup Language" [XHTML] [p.357] , please refer to the W3C HTML Activity and the
