What is HTML5?

HTML 5 is a fifth major revision of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). One of the major changes in HTML5 is in respect to how HTML addresses Web applications. Other new features in HTML5 include specific functions for embedding graphics, audio, video, and interactive documents. New elements also allow you to define sections of your Web page using new tags such as < article > which defines an article, < nav > which defines navigation links, < source > which defines media resources, and many others. For example, the navigation section of your page would be enclosed in the < nav > tags.
 
HTML5 is a W3C specification that defines the fifth major revision of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The purpose of HTML5 is primary to make it easier for web developers and browser creators to follow consensus-based standards that make compliance more efficient and empowering.
 
HTML5 is the latest evolution of the standard that defines HTML. The term represents two different concepts:
•It is a new version of the language HTML, with new elements, attributes, and behaviors,
•and a larger set of technologies that allows more diverse and powerful Web sites and applications. This set is sometimes called HTML5 & friends and often shortened to just HTML5.

HTML5 is not all that different that 4.01. Certain tags, such as the <font> tag, that were "deprecated" (but worked) in HTML 4.01, don't work in HTML5.
 
HTML 5 is a revision of the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the standard programming language for describing the contents and appearance of Web pages.

HTML5 was developed to solve compatibility problems that affect the current standard, HTML4. One of the biggest differences between HTML5 and previous versions of the standard is that older versions of HTML require proprietary plugins and APIs. (This is why a Web page that was built and tested in one browser may not load correctly in another browser.) HTML5 provides one common interface to make loading elements easier. For example, there is no need to install a Flash plugin in HTML5 because the element will run by itself.
 
Just the latest version of HTML, It has been release very long time ago, so I think we don't need to care about the "5", I mean we don't have to distinguish HTML or HTML5 :p
