Hi Irish,

Happy to help you

HTML5 is the advanced version on HTML, with more media and location support. HTML5 allows adding dynamic content to the Webpage.

HTML5 added tags:
audio: to define the sound content.
video: to define a video or a movie.
source: to define multiple media resources for video and audio.
track: to define text tracks.
canvas: to draw graphics, and is used to draw a 2D drawing with height and width attributes.
article: to define an article.
header: it specifies an introduction for a document.
footer: to define a footer for a document.
wbr: to define a line break
time: to define a date/time.
geolocation: to know the user's location.

Tags supported by HTML, but not supported in HTML5:
big, center, acronym, frameset, applet, strike and center

HTML 5 is faster than previous versions of HTML. It is faster and lets you include more items that are not available in earlier versions of HTML.

HTML is a markup language ad it's used to build static (non interactive and nonanimated) pages of site.
Browser cache can be used as temporary storage.

HTML5 is the newest revision of HTML comprising well support for media like video and audio tags.
Application Cache, Web SQL database & Web storage is obtainable as client side storage. Manageable using JavaScript edge in HTML5 compliant browsers.

HTML 5 is an updated version of HTML. It's much similar to HTML. But difference is HTML 5 contains much better support for media such as, an audio and video tag.

By using HTML5 elements we can increase the semantic value of the web page as the codes are very standardize.Now it is easy to see which parts of the page are headers, nav, footers, aside, etc as the tags are specific for these all and most importantly know what their meaning and purpose is in whole the format.

HTML is a markup language but HTML 5 is new, there is no big difference in both of them. HTML 5 have some tags and attributes which are not in HTML.

Well, HTML5 is a language for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web while HTML is the basic markup language.

Differences are from heaven to earth, not exactly in coding but in performance.

HTML5 will be the new standard for HTML.HTML 5 provides new features like <video> and <audio> elements for media playback,<canvas> element for 2D drawing etc.

In short HTML5 is a newer version of HTML where lots of new tags are added which makes it dynamic means it also does validation before that it was static not able to do validation. For example, for password field if we write condition that it should be at least 6 characters long then we have to write Java script to validate it but thanks to HTML5 which eliminate the use of Java script which ultimately saves our coding time and minimizes lines of code which improves performance of the website.

In HTML 5 we can easily call objects through new elements, types of form controls and attributes. This new featured compare to the approach of object oriented programming. I this this is major difference between HTML and HTML 5.

HTML5 is an advance and newer version of the HTML. More supports in multimedia and other contents. For me just use HTML5. Its more easy to use than HTMl.

HTML is the primary markup language use in our browser to create web pages while HTML5 is somehow a version of HTML. The main difference of the is the audio and video. This can't be found in a normal HTML but this two integral parts can be found on HTML5. I guess this would be the main differences of HTML and HTML5.
