HTML5, I need some info...

[Jacki]

Hi, I didn't post here for a while but now I'm back! xD
Seriously, I had to study a lot and now too so I don't have much time to program, but probably soon I'll have to start a new project and I'd get some info:
- Is there some new info about html5?
- Where can I found out documentation?
- Are there some browser that support html5?

I'd like also know what differences are between html5 and the versions before, if there's some pages wich explain this I'd like to know the links to these... Thanks... bye!

- Is there some new info about html5?

I know it supports the new canvas tag, take a look at it in action here:

HTML5 also has new elements to help indicate basic elements such as times or numbers.

* <mark> - This denotes that a bit of text is marked in some way. You could for example, use this to mark search terms in a list of results.
* <time> - You can use this to represent times, or dates in your block of text.
* <meter> - This can be used to indicate a figure of some sort. It can have multiple attributes including: value, min, max, low, high and optimum.
* <progress> - This can be used to show a progress bar of some sort. It has a couple of attributes: value and max. The max attribute can be omitted.

- Where can I found out documentation?

You can find almost everything about HTML 5 on w3.org:

- Are there some browser that support html5?

Firefox 3.5 is the best.

Firefox 3.5 is the best.

that's an opinion. for raw web standards google chrome is the best. and here's what diffrent layout engines in browsers support:

True chrome is better for raw web standards.
