Suggestion: Add educational resource on HTML Encoding and Decoding

[edit]

Hi editors 👋,

I’d like to suggest an external educational resource that may help readers better understand HTML entity encoding and decoding concepts.

The article is titled "HTML Decode vs HTML Encode: Complete Guide" and it covers:

  • Differences between HTML encoding and decoding
  • Use cases in web security (e.g., preventing XSS)
  • Reference examples aligned with W3C and OWASP standards
  • Common pitfalls when displaying encoded content

You can view it here: 👉 https://www.meniya.com/blog/html-decode-vs-html-encode-complete-guide

The article is non-commercial, focused on education, and cites open web standards. Would this be appropriate for inclusion in the External links section of the HTML page?

Thanks for your time and feedback! — Kjmeniya (talk) 17:41, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Standard?

[edit]

WRT "Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser". IMO, the word 'standard' implies that there is a document or governing body that requires something. What is the doc or body that requires a web browser to use HTML? ... I think HTML is standardized in that the language is defined by a governing body. But, there is no standard that requires a web browser to use HTML. Therefore, I think HTML is the defacto standard for browsers to support. Stevebroshar (talk) 11:34, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may be conflating the word "standard" with the term "technical standard". "Standard" can mean many things, in this context it means (definition from Meriam-Webster) "something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example." Specifically, HTML is established by "custom or general consent," not by authority as you pointed out.

I want to add this code to show a simple example of a HTML code. <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <title>Pixel Stick Man</title> <style> 

 .pixel {
   width: 20px;
   height: 20px;

 }
 .skin { background: #f5cfa0; }
 .shirt { background: #3498db; }
 .pants { background: #2c3e50; }
 .empty { background: #fff; }

</style> </head> <body>





</body> </html>

Suggestion: Add Information about web browsers that support HTML5

[edit]

I think we should add some information about web browsers that support the latest version of html5, and probably some references to the web browsers themselves Win10123xd (talk) 01:14, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

HTML5 Browser Support Update

[edit]

I think this article should include updated information about modern web browsers that supports HTML5.

Most current browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Safari already support HTML5 features fully. ~2026-27713-65 (talk) 21:53, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
