First, if you just want to embed videos using the html5 `<video>` tag,
|
|
you can do that without switching anything else to html5.
|
|
However, if you want to fully enter the brave new world of html5, read on..
|
|
|
|
Currently, ikiwiki does not use html5 by default. There is a `html5`
|
|
setting that can be turned on, in your setup file. Rebuild with it set, and
|
|
lots of fancy new semantic tags will be used all over the place.
|
|
|
|
You may need to adapt your CSS for html5. While all the class and id names
|
|
are the same, some of the `div` elements are changed to other things.
|
|
Ikiwiki's default CSS will work in both modes.
|
|
|
|
The html5 support is still experimental, and may break in some browsers.
|
|
No care is taken to add backwards compatibility hacks for browsers that
|
|
are not html5 aware (like MSIE). If you want to include the javascript with
|
|
those hacks, you can edit `page.tmpl` to do so.
|
|
[Dive Into HTML5](http://diveintohtml5.org/) is a good reference for
|
|
current compatability issues and workarounds with html5. And a remotely-loadable
|
|
JS shiv for enabling HTML5 elements in IE is available through [html5shiv at Google Code](http://code.google.com/p/html5shiv/).

Known ikiwiki-specific issues:
|
|
|
|
* [[plugins/htmltidy]] uses `tidy`, which is not html5 aware, so if you
|
|
have that enabled, it will mangle it back to html4.
|
|
* [[plugins/toc]] does not understand the html5 outline algorithm.
