The latest, and last, version of HTML is 4.01, which is only a minor 
change from 4.0 which was released back in 1997. 
Beyond that there's XHTML 1.0 which is just HTML 4.01 written in an 
XML syntax. 
Then there's XHTML 1.1 which is unusable as, if done properly, it can 
not be parsed by any existing version Internet Explorer!. 
And XHTML 2.0 is currently being written but unless Microsoft get 
their act together that too will be unusable in public web sites.

The main difference between now and a few years ago is that today 
almost all sites use extensive CSS stylesheets for all the 
presentation and layout.
