Html4 Vs Html5 The Main Difference – Naijafixer.com by abula112(m): 4:01pm On Jan 22, 2016

HTML4 has been a standard web development for more than 10 years. HTML4 is approved and ratified as a standard language for browsers by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an organization which specifies and approves standards for web technologies. However, with the advent of smart-phones era.
main diffrence are

1. Simplified and Clear Syntax

The syntax in HTML5 is extremely clear and simple as compared to HTML4. One example of this is the DOCTYPE element. In HTML4 the DOCTYPE declaration was too messy and lengthy and used to refer an external source. However in HTML5 DOCTYPE element has been made extremely simple. For instance a mere <!DOCTYPE html> is enough to specify the document type.

2. Multimedia Elements

HTML5 contains built in support for integrated multimedia files into web page via video and audio tags. Previously, in HTML4, the multimedia content was integrated in web pages via third party plugins such as Silverlight and flash.

3. Accessing User Geographical location

Previously in HTML4, it was an extremely cumbersome task to get the geographical locations of the visitors visiting the site. It was even difficult when the website was accessed through mobile devices. On the other hand, in HTML5 is extremely easy to get the user location. HTML5’s JS GeoLocation can be leveraged to identify the location of the user accessing the website.
