-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/).
-> In the `origin/html` branch, there is an old work in progress to make
-> ikiwiki use html 4 instead of xhtml. If that could be brought forward and
-> finished then the plan has been to switch ikiwiki over to doing html 4.
-> I don't think it makes sense to try to make it support both xhtml and
-> html, it would complicate the code for no benefit.
->
-> I think that is the best route toward supporting html 5 as well. Get
-> ikiwiki doing html 4 first and the changes needed to get to 5 from there
-> should be small. Probably just changing some doctypes and a few other
-> small changes which could be kept in a branch, or even shipped in ikiwiki
-> mainline as an alternate set of templates. Some of the changes, like
-> supporting new html 5 tags in the htmlscrubber, can be done in mainline.
-> (Like was already done for the html 5 video and audio tags.)
->
-> This approach seems much more maintainable going foward than rolling a
-> html 5 branch immediatly and trying to keep that continually up-to-date
-> with mainline ikiwiki that is still using xhtml. --[[Joey]]

-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.

-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.

-> Don't run ¨make test" ... --[[Joey]]
->> I don't quite grok debhelper7 [rules](http://git.ikiwiki.info/?p=ikiwiki;a=blob;f=debian/rules).
+[validator.nu](http://validator.nu/) is the authorative 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.
->>> Well, ok :-) `rm t/html.t` or, add an empty `override_dh_auto_test` rule.

+In the future, hopefully ikiwiki can test for valid HTML5 using [Relax NG
+schema](http://syntax.whattf.org/) using a Debian package tool
+[rnv](http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/rnv.html).

-* 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.
