-Some elements of [HTML5](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/) can be safely supported by ikiwiki. There are [several differences between HTML4 and HTMl5](http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/). Unsupported new elements _should degrade gracefully_.
+Some elements of
+[HTML5](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/) can be
+safely supported by ikiwiki. There are [several differences between HTML4 and
+HTML5](http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/).
 
-However as an [early adopter](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_adopter) I would like to start using HTML5 as much as possible. The more pragmatic solution would be to use elements supported by the browsers of your readership I guess. I'm following other early adopters like [Anne](http://annevankesteren.nl/) for clues on how to proceed.

-* [Initial patch](http://git.webconverger.org/?p=ikiwiki;a=commit;h=2e2bb3f74f5000b1269142d6f9bdf1bcb4075ca4)
+* [HTML5 branch](http://git.webconverger.org/?p=ikiwiki;h=refs/heads/html5)
+* [ikiwiki instance with HTML5 templates](http://natalian.org)
+* [HTML5 outliner tool](http://gsnedders.html5.org/outliner/) -- to check you have the structure of your markup correct
 
-I'm unsure how to turn off the test validation by the very old [wdg-html-validator](http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/wdg-html-validator.html). So I have been unable to test my initial patches as I can't build ikiwiki. I would like to know how to edit the rules/Makefile to temporarily disable this.
+# htmlscrubber.pm needs to not scrub new HTML5 elements
 
-[validator.nu](http://validator.nu/) incidentally is **the** HTML5 validator, however it is almost impossible to sanely introduce as a build dependency because of its insane Java requirements. :( I test locally via [cURL](http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/IDE), though Debian packages cannot be built with a network dependency.

-* the [time element](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-time-element) ideally needs the datatime= attribute set with iso8601 time
-* I suspect the migration to the new semantic elements of HTML5 like article, header & footer to take some time, due to browser support. Though they sure make the template code look much nicer.
-* `<br>` and too many `<div>`s usually indicates poor semantics.
-* Many of the header `<span>`s should be proper [header elements](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#the-h1,-h2,-h3,-h4,-h5,-and-h6-elements)

+# HTML5 migration issues
+
+# [article](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#the-article-element) element
+
+This element is poorly supported by browsers. As a workaround, `style.css` needs:
+
+	article {
+		display: block;
+	}
+
+Internet Explorer will display it as a block, though you can't seem to be able to further control the style.
+
+## Time element
+
+The [time element](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-time-element) ideally needs the datatime= attribute set by a template variable with what [HTML5 defines as a valid datetime string](http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/infrastructure.html#valid-global-date-and-time-string).
+
+As a workaround:
+
+	au:~% grep timeformat natalian.setup
+	timeformat => '%Y-%m-%d',
