Hyper Text Markup Language version 5 at a guess.

All web pages use HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) as the underlying page description language used to instruct the web browser on how to display the page.

HTML is standards based and early versions were only capable of doing very simple things. To make up for these short comings web browser vendors invented (notably Netscape and Microsoft) their own add-ons and features which weren't standards compliant but which allowed users to do things they otherwise couldn't. However, as these new features weren't standardised things got really bad resulting in notices on websites along the lines of "best viewed using xyx browser".

HTML 5 is the latest version of the HTML standards which are intended to be defacto but it won't be finished until 2022. However it does allows us to do the things that we previously needed plugins for such as playing audio files or video.
