Jesper on HTML5:
HTML5 has ditched everything terrifyingly deprecated, kept the rest, and introduced new elements that are truly useful and truly usable.
Examples of those items include
<section>
,<article>
, the tag-team tag team<header>
and<footer>
,<nav>
and<dialog>
, which utilizes<dt>
and<dd>
pairs previously seen only in<dl>
(definition lists) to finally standardize written dialog.
I started serving some of Daring Fireball’s pages (including the front page and article archives) marked-up in a simple subset of HTML5 last week. All I had to do (mostly) was change the DOCTYPE declaration and remove some needless metadata cruft from the <html>
and <meta>
tags.
