HTML6 Introduction — Understanding — Structure and New Features
Introduction to HTML6 — Understanding — Structure and Its New Features – Technology is developing so fast, sometimes we can’t keep up with it. We haven’t finished studying HTML5 properly yet, now HTML6 is about to appear, which is the latest version of HTML.
HTML5 has given us some very interesting features such as audio and video support, offline storage and most importantly the ability to build mobile-optimized websites. In addition, html5 gives us the freedom to use the attributes of tags such as and

This tag will help you link to external documents and scripts such as CSS, JS, and others to HTML documents. This is similar to the tag used in HTML5. This tag includes the following attributes:
Charset: “UTF-8” character encoding
href: It contains a link to the source file
Media: this defines the type of device to be run on, for example “Smartphone” or “Tablet”.
type: MIME type of document

Content-based text
