Parth H. Dave's Blogger: Understanding The Concept of HTML6

HTML6 is sixth revision of HTML with namespaces that has structure like XML. XML namespaces will help you use the same tag without conflicting it with any other tag.

For instance the one used in the XHTML DOCTYPE:

xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

HTML6 will provide us the benefit to use tags that we want.

Just imagine using tag <logo></logo> for assigning a logo to your web page, or using tag <toolbar></toolbar> or using tag <wrapper> or a <container> in place of <div> tag. It's better to use <wrapper> or <container> tag rather using <div> with multiple ids.

Example of HTML6:

Different new APIs are provided by HTML6.

Let's have a quick look.

HTML6 APIs:

Ø <html:html>

This tag is equivalent to <html> tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html:html>

</html:html>

Ø <html:head>

This tag is equivalent to <head> tag.

<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html:html>

	<html:head>
	<!-- Consists tags, like <html:title>,<html:meta> or <html:link> tag -->

	</html:head>
	</html:html>

Ø <html:title>

It will change the title of the HTML document and is similar to the <title> tag used in earlier HTML versions.

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html:html>

	<html:head>
	<html:title> My HTML6 Example</html:title>

	</html:head>
	</html:html>

Ø <html:meta>

This tag is little bit different from the <meta> tag used in the latest HTML version. Using this HTML6 tag you can use any sort of meta data.

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html:html>

	<html:head>
	<html:title> My HTML6 Example </html:title>

	<html:meta type="description" value=" Understanding The Concept of HTML6">
	</html:head>

	</html:html>

Ø <html:link>

This tag will help you link external documents and scripts (like CSS, JS files etc.) to the HTML document. It’s similar to <link> tag used in HTML.

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html:html>

	<html:head>
	<html:title> Understanding The Concept of HTML6 </html:title>

	<html:link src="javascript/mainfile.js" title="Script" type="text/javascript">
	</html:head>

</html:html>

Ø <html:body>

This is just like the <body> tag that you’ve been using in the current HTML version.

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html:html>

	<html:head>
	<html:title> My HTML6 Example</html:title>

	</html:head>
	<html:body>

	<!-- Website content placed here -->
	</html:body>

	</html:html>

Ø <html:a>

This tag is similar to the <a> tag, and is used to represent a link to other web page. It takes only single ‘href’ attribute, which is used to redirect page.

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html:html>

	<html:head>
	<html:title> My HTML6 Example</html:title>

	</html:head>
	<html:body>

	<html:a href="http:/home">Home</html:a>
	</html:body>

</html:html>

Ø <html:button>

This tag is equivalent to <button> tag or <input type="button"> used in the current and older HTML versions. This tag enables you to create a button to help a user perform some interaction to your web site.

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html:html>

	<html:head>
	<html:title> My HTML6 Example </html:title>

	</html:head>
	<html:body>

	<html:button>Click on This Button</html:button>
	</html:body>

</html:html>

Ø <html:media>

This tag combines all the <media> tags like <img>,<audio>, <video>, <embed>, etc. The <html:media> tag you are using will be executed by the browser based on the type attribute or it will make a guess on the basis of file extension or by the ‘MIME type’.

	<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html:html>

	<html:head>
	<html:title> My HTML6 Example </html:title>

	</html:head>
	<html:body>


	<html:media src="image/logo.jpg" type="image">
	<html:media src="videos/slider.mov">

</html:body>

</html:html>

Types of tags available in HTML6:

HTML6 will have two types of tags similar to older version of HTML such as single tags and double tags. The single tags will not have any text content, and rather will only have attributes. They are also called self ended tags.

For example:

<html:meta type=" description " content=" My HTML6 Example " />

Double tags have opening and closing tag, as they have some text content.

For example:

<html:link href="./Home.html">Home</html:link>

HTML6 isn’t still finish here. But you can get an idea of what HTML6 will be offering.

Demo Example

Happy Coding...!!
