Modern HTML

We're the first
on the block to move up to
HTML5…the salesman told us
it was more refined and shinier
than HTML4.01.

So, we're sure you've heard the hype around HTML5. And,
given how far along you are in this topic, you're probably wondering if you made the
right purchase. Now, one thing to be clear about, up front, is that everything you've
learned in this topic has been HTML, and more specifically has met the HTML5
standard. But there are some new aspects of HTML markup that were added with
the HTML5 standard that we haven't covered yet, and that's what we're going to do
in this chapter. Most of these additions are evolutionary, and you're going to find you
are quite comfortable with them given all the hard work you've already done in this
book. There's some revolutionary stuff too (like video), and we'll talk about that in this
chapter as well. So, let's dive in and take a look at these new additions!
