+> So, how should ikiwiki support html5? There are basically 3 approaches:
+> 
+> 1. Allow users to add html5 tags to their existing xhtml pages.
+>    What has been done so far, can be extended. Basically works 
+>    in browsers, if you don't care about standards. A good prerequisite
+>    for anything else, anyway.
+> 2. Have both a html5 and a xhtml mode, allow user to select.
+> 3. Switch to html5 in eg, ikiwiki 4; users have to deal with
+>    any custom markup on their pages/templates that breaks then.
+> 
+> The second option seems fairly tractable from what I see here and in 
+> your branch. You made only relatively minor changes to 10 templates.
+> It would probably not be too dreadful to put them in ifdefs. I've made a
+> small start at doing that.
+> 
+> I've made ikiwiki use the time element and all the new semantic elements
+> in html5 mode.
+> 
+> Other ideas:
+>  
+> * Use details tag instead of the javascript in the toggle plugin. 
+>   (Need to wait on browser support probably.)
+> * Use figure and figcaption for captions in img. However, I have not 
+>   managed to style it to look as good as the current table+caption
+>   approach.
