HTML5

What is HTML5?

HTML5 is the latest revision of the HTML standard. HTML5, like its immediate predecessors HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1, is a mark-up language for structuring and presenting content on the World Wide Web. HTML5 is still a work in progress as of this post. However, most modern browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer and Firefox have some HTML5 support.

Note: HTML5 is not yet an official standard and therefore no browsers have full HTML5 support.

New Features:

  • New content specific element tags like, header, section, aside, nav, footer
  • Better support for local offline storage

  • Canvas element for drawing
