W3C and WHATWG control HTML

The World Wide Web Consortium has been managing HTML since 1996. It’s a non-profit organization with over 400 members and 12,000 developers who participate in the development of web standards based on these principles:

  • Accessibility
  • Privacy
  • Internationalization
  • Security

However, the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) officially became the only publisher of HTML in 2019.
