'''Håkon Wium Lie''' (born July 16, 1965) is a [[Norwegians|Norwegian]] web pioneer, a standards activist, and the [[Chief Technology Officer]] of [[Opera Software]] from 1998 until the browser was sold to new owners in 2016. He is best known for developing [[Cascading Style Sheets]] (CSS) while working with [[Tim Berners-Lee]] and [[Robert Cailliau]] at [[CERN]] in 1994.

== Education and career ==
Håkon Wium Lie attended [[Østfold University College]], [[University of West Georgia|West Georgia College]], and [[MIT Media Lab]], receiving an MS in Visual Studies in 1991.

On February 17, 2006, he successfully defended his [[PhD]] [[thesis]] at the [[University of Oslo]]. His [[PhD]] thesis is background to the origins of CSS and a rationale to some of the design decisions behind it &ndash; particularly as to why some features were ''not'' included and why CSS avoids trying to become [[DSSSL]].<ref>{{ cite web

=== Web Standards ===

While working with [[Tim Berners-Lee]] and [[Robert Cailliau]] at [[CERN]] in 1994, he proposed the concept of [[Cascading Style Sheets]] (CSS).<ref>[https://www.w3.org/People/howcome/p/cascade.html Cascading HTML Style Sheets]</ref> As a showcase and [[testbed]], he integrated CSS into the [[Arena (web browser)|Arena]] [[web browser]], which became the first CSS implementation.<ref name="chapter20">{{cite web

After joining [[W3C]] in 1995, he worked on the CSS specifications, including CSS1,<ref>{{cite web

}}</ref>

Along with his work on the CSS specifications, Wium Lie has been an activist for standards in general.

In 2005, he wrote an open letter to [[Bill Gates]] of [[Microsoft]], asking why Microsoft's [[Internet Explorer]] did not support common web standards.<ref>{{cite news

In 2006, Wium Lie started campaigning for browsers to support downloadable web fonts using common font formats.<ref>[https://www.cnet.com/news/microsofts-forgotten-monopoly/ Microsoft's forgotten monopoly]</ref><ref>[http://people.opera.com/howcome/2008/atypi/ Web fonts: the view from the free world]</ref><ref>[http://www.alistapart.com/articles/cssatten CSS @ Ten: The Next Big Thing]</ref> {{As of|2011}}, all major browser vendors have implemented web fonts this way.<ref>Samples at: [http://www.princexml.com/howcome/2008/webfonts/ ''Webfonts demo and test pages'']. for Prince, Safari, Opera 10 alpha, and a special build of Firefox.

In 2007, Wium Lie started campaigning for the video element to make it easier to publish video on the web.<ref>[http://people.opera.com/howcome/2007/video/ A call for video on the web]</ref> At [[Google I/O]] in 2011, Wium Lie presented the video element in combination with the [[WebM]] format which [[Google]] had open-sourced.<ref>{{ cite news

Wium Lie has also promoted the concept of printing from the web.<ref>{{YouTube|vcXUrNSvjhU|Håkon Wium Lie and Michael Day giving a Google Tech Talk on printing from the web}}</ref> The third edition of his book on CSS, co-authored with [[Bert Bos]], was produced from HTML and CSS files.<ref>[http://www.alistapart.com/articles/boom Printing a Book with CSS: Boom!]</ref><ref>[http://www.princexml.com/samples/#book A description of how the CSS book was produced from HTML and CSS into PDF]</ref> These files were then converted to [[PDF]] by the [[Prince XML|Prince XML + CSS formatter]]. In 2005, he joined the board of YesLogic, the company that makes the Prince formatter.

Building on his experience with web printing, in 2011 Wium Lie proposed to extend CSS to support pagination on screens.<ref>[https://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/12/opera_extends_css/ Opera brings fondleslab-style reading to bog-standard web]</ref>

He has argued against the use of [[XSL Formatting Objects|formatting objects]] and CSS Regions on the web.<ref>[http://people.opera.com/howcome/1999/foch.html Formatting Objects considered harmful]</ref><ref>[https://alistapart.com/blog/post/css-regions-considered-harmful CSS Regions Considered Harmful]</ref>

=== CTO of Opera Software ===

In April 1999, Wium Lie joined [[Opera Software]] in [[Oslo]], [[Norway]] as [[Chief technology officer|CTO]]. His move was motivated by seeing Opera programmers make more progress on implementing CSS in three months than what Netscape and Microsoft had achieved in three years.<ref>{{ cite news |

quote=I joined Opera when I saw that Opera was able to implement as much of CSS in three months as Netscape and Microsoft could in three years
}}</ref>

At Opera, he spearheaded the development of mobile browsers, in particular small-screen rendering of web pages. Small-screen rendering enabled Opera to show normal web pages on the small screens commonly found on [[feature phone]]s running the [[Opera Mini]] browser.<ref>{{ cite news

The trick is to reformat the web page in an intelligent way—by working out which parts are important and which not, says Hakon Lie, Opera's chief technology officer.
}}</ref>

When Opera Software filed a complaint against [[Microsoft]] in the [[EU]] over [[Internet Explorer]] in 2007, Wium Lie was a spokesperson, stressing the need for Microsoft to fully support web standards in their browser.<ref>{{ cite web

}}</ref> Opera's complaint led to a settlement where Microsoft started offering rival browsers from a [[BrowserChoice.eu|browser choice screen]] to Windows users in Europe, and Wium Lie declared this a victory for the web.<ref>{{ cite web

}}</ref>

In 2013, Opera started a gradual transition from its own [[Presto (browser engine)|Presto]] web engine, to the [[WebKit]] engine also used by [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]] and [[Google Chrome]]. Wium Lie said that it made most sense to work with the open-source communities than to continue developing a its own engine.<ref>{{ cite web

== Political and civic activities ==

In 2005, when politicians declared defeat against advertising towers on public pavements in [[Oslo]], Wium Lie started the [[Stans.no]] campaign.<ref>{{ cite news

In 2018, Wium Lie was sued by [[Lovdata]] for publishing Norwegian court decisions on [[rettspraksis.no]], a volunteer web site. In less than 24 hours, the web site was closed by the Oslo court, and Wium Lie was sentenced to pay the legal bills of Lovdata. Under Norwegian law, court decisions are exempted from copyright but Wium Lie was not allowed to appear in court. In the wake of this decision, members of the Norwegian Parliament have asked for changes in how Lovdata is organized.<ref>[http://www.wiumlie.no/2018/rettspraksis/06-11-blog.html Being Sued]</ref> The case has been appealed and will be decided by the Supreme Court of Norway.

== Personal life ==

Wium Lie lives in [[Oslo]], [[Norway]]. There, he has started web-based campaigns against high-rise buildings<ref>[http://www.stoppblokk.no StoppBlokk campaign]</ref> and advertising in the public space.<ref>[http://www.stans.no Stans!no campaign] against advertising in Oslo</ref> Wium Lie also maintains a [[woodworking]] studio and runs an [[organic farm]].<ref>{{citation |url=http://hakon.wium.lie.usesthis.com/ |title=Håkon Wium Le |work=The Setup |date=October 7, 2014 }}</ref>

In 1999, he was named to the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology|MIT]] [[Technology Review]] [[TR35|TR100]] as one of the top 100 innovators in the world under the age of 35.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www2.technologyreview.com/tr35/?year=1999 |title=1999 Young Innovators Under 35 |publisher=[[Technology Review]] | year=1999 | accessdate=August 15, 2011}}</ref>

In 2001, he was a Technology Pioneer at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

In 2017, Wium Lie held a keynote at the WeAreDevelopers Conference 2017, talking about his contributions to the web today with the creation of CSS, and how it has evolved together with the web itself up to its current state.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeC26IO1WV8</ref>
