Consummo to be published in (X)HTML5.

Utterly PointlessUnequivocally DaftThoroughly AverageModerately ImpressiveBeyond Brilliant Rate this article

After much thought, I’ve decided to code the main theme of Consummo in (X)HTML5. Although I have not decided which route I’m going to take when it comes to (X)HTML5 (HTML5 or XHTML5), I am positive I will be using (X)HTML5. HTML 4.01 is too unstructured for my taste, XHTML 1.0 is old, and XHTML 2.0 isn’t friendly at all (to coders or visitors). (X)HTML5 seems like the proper choice, especially since I have been active in the development of it (not so much recently, but I’m getting back into the game slowly). If you want to learn more about (X)HTML5, check out the differences between HTML 4 and 5.

Note

Although Consummo will be released with an (X)HTML5 theme by default, I will release an XHTML 1.0 theme as well (and possibly even an HTML 4.01 theme). It won’t come out right away of course, but I will get around to it.

    The other thing to remember is that XHTML2 will almost certainly never eventuate, the XHTML2 WG only exists today because the W3C doesn’t want to admit that XHTML2’s dead and (X)HTML5 is the future. Everything that could be done in XHTML2 can be done in XHTML5 (Xforms, XMLevents etc (subject to browser support)), I mean, it’s XHTML after all, so there’s no need for XHTML2 any more.

    So yes, I’ll be using (X)HTML5 in the future too :)
