HTML5<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HTML5 is the latest and greatest standard for HTML. It incorporates <\/span>some features of HTML4.01 and some of XML, but also brings many new <\/span>exciting capabilities to the web including a graphics canvas, audio, and <\/span>video capabilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HTML5 tightens the specification for HTML so there are fewer problems <\/span>with browsers interpreting things differently. It provides many <\/span>capabilities that previously required plugins and add-ons so that advanced <\/span>capabilities will be available across a wide array of Internet <\/span>appliances.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For someone who likes to hand-code things, as I do, it’s also easier <\/span>than previous versions of HTML, although there is a lot more to learn, <\/span>only because it is so capable.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HTML5 is still an evolving standard but already most major browsers<\/span> implement a large portion of it, enough so that it is currently possible <\/span>to include video, auto, and graphical content without the need for <\/span>plugins. It is also easy to write code that is HTML5 compliant but also <\/span>backwards compatible with older browsers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hello World!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

   <!DOCTYPE html>\r\n   <html lang=\"en-US\">\r\n   <html>\r\n      <head>\r\n         <title>Hello World!<\/title>\r\n      <\/head>\r\n      <body>\r\n         <p>Hello World!<\/p>\r\n      <\/body>\r\n   <\/html>\r\n<\/span><\/pre>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Notice that the DOCTYPE for HTML5 is simply “HTML”. What <\/span>could be simpler than that? The presence of this doctype puts <\/span>browsers in standards mode so there is at least a chance they’ll do <\/span><\/span>the right thing.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some sites don’t consider the language declaration to be important but <\/span>I prefer not to make the browser guess and guarantee that the correct<\/span> character set is used to render the document.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Just as with previous versions of HTML, you have <html> and the <\/span>closing <\/html> tags surrounding the header and body.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The header section is enclosed in <header> and <\/header> <\/span>tags and the body in <body> and <\/body> tags, just as with <\/span>previous versions.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HTML5 can be coded in either HTML format or XHTML format. If you want <\/span>to type <br> or <br \/>, either will work. Browsers will parse <\/span>both HTML5 and XHTML5 identically.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Many deprecated tags, such as <center> and <font>, are no <\/span>longer supported because their functions have been replaced by style <\/span>sheets. Now if only Browser vendors would make all style sheet code work <\/span>properly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
