http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ tells about html4 (that's not hmtl5, but it's a start). That's the language webpages are written in and that your rendering program must understand to render it to a window on a screen.

http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/start.html is a tutorial about how to put something on the screen.

I want to use TCP/IP stack. It is easier than with this. But Is there a TCP/IP stack for android ? Is it possible with android ?

See https://www.google.com/search?q=tcp%2Fip-stack+android for tutorials and code examples.
Without tcp/ip there wouldn't be an Internet connection possible in Android.

you don't need tcp/ip to develop the webview equivalent. Any browser can read a html-file from your local hard disk. You only need tcp/ip to read it from the internet. Since your own hard disk is faster, it makes sense to work local until it's really needed to go remote.

Then you'll have to write your own rendering engine to interpret html5 and css3 in such a way that it makes a decent screen out of everything you throw to it. Usually (for Mozilla, Opera, Google and Microsoft) that's a project that takes many, many men-years of work.

I'd start with the most simple html-file imaginebale. That's a .html file containing only the text Hello world! without any tags.
