7 Lovely Things About HTML5 Markup

12 July 2011 / 6 Comments

7 Lovely Things About HTML5 Markup

HTML5 — the latest generation of the Web’s markup language — has been creating quite a stir over the last couple of years, as more and more browsers implement the latest and greatest HTML5 features. HTML5 really hit the mainstream in 2010, in part driven by Steve Jobs’ open letter, Thoughts on Flash.

HTML5 is quite a broad term, encompassing everything from the revised markup specification through to new API features such as audio, video, canvas and geolocation.

In this article I’m going to focus on the markup language itself, and look at seven reasons why I love HTML5’s markup more than HTML4’s. We’ll look at:

  • Doctypes
  • data- attributes
  • Some new and improved elements and attributes
  • More flexible linking
  • Simpler markup, and
  • Enhancements to web forms.

Ready to upgrade your markup? Let’s go!

Introducing XHTML

28 August 2007 / Leave a Comment

XHTML, first introduced in 2000, is billed as the successor to HTML. It’s short for Extensible Hypertext Markup Language. XHTML 1.0 is essentially a reworking of HTML 4 in XML – Extensible Markup Language. As such, HTML 4 and XHTML 1.0 are very similar.

XHTML is stricter than regular HTML, as you’ll see in a moment. While this extra strictness requires a bit more effort when creating XHTML pages, it does mean that those pages are very easy for computers to read. HTML, in contrast, is notoriously difficult for browsers to interpret — which is partly why no two browsers seem to display a Web page in the same way!
