Web developers defined HTML5 – the next generation of HyperText Markup Language (HTML). HTML5 is the major revised version of the HTML standard most frequently used by web developers for describing web pages. There is a huge confusion among people when it comes to choosing HTML5 Vs HTML.

Interestingly, a new revision of HTML – the HTML5 is the best solution for incomplete and inconsistent browser support because it is strongly supported by Apple, Opera, Mozilla, Microsoft, Google, etc. As per market status, it seems that the HTML5 is becoming a mainstream of the World Wide Web when it comes to web development.
The HTML5 comes with great peculiarities such as backward compatibility, device-independent, reduced need for external plugins, better structure, drawing, media content, and better error handling. Besides that, the HTML5 backed with a great set of interesting new features including canvas element, video and audio elements, better support (for local offline storage), new form controls (calendar, date, time, email, url, search), new content-specific elements (article, footer, header, nav, section).
The HTML: In Defense
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) can be explained as a complete markup language associated with a set of HTML markup tags used by web developers as basic building-blocks seamlessly to represent web pages.
