DVB-HTML

DVB-HTML is a HTML-based mark-up language (declarative language) specified as an option within the MHP 1.1.X specification.

DVB-HTML builds on top of the MHP 1.x specification and provides a receiver with the capabilities of presenting HTML-based DTV interactive applications. The DVB-HTML specification covers the extensions and restrictions to the existing W3C language specifications, and provides in addition receiver normative statements in order to build interoperable engines.
