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/).
|
|
|
|
* [HTML5 branch](http://git.webconverger.org/?p=ikiwiki;h=refs/heads/html5)
|
|
* [ikiwiki instance with HTML5 templates](http://natalian.org)

# HTML5 Validation and t/html.t
|
|
|
|
[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.
|
|
|
|
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).

# 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 further control the style.

# Validator complains with no h1-h6 in header

## 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',
