HTML is a markup language used to make web pages. HTML5 is the latest version of Hypertext Markup Language. The cornerstone technologies for a webpage are HTML, which provides the structure. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), which take care of presentation. And JavaScript, which makes things happen.

Thanks to HTML5, web pages can now store data locally on the users browser, then you dont need to use HTTP cookies. Now content can be delivered faster and more securely. HTML5 has also made it easier to ensure consistency across all browsers. Since browsers have traditionally relied upon different plugins to play multimedia files, native support of video and audio allows developers to avoid compatibility issues. New attributes also allow for video controls including play, pause, and volume options.

HTML4 was the standard for about 15 years and many still use it, all browsers will continue to support it for a very long time. Likewise, older browsers can 'overlook' new HTML5 code while rendering content. Virtually all modern browsers support HTML5 specifications fairly well.

You can use HTML5test to run a test with your current browser to see what it scores in terms of HTML5 support.
