    "HTML" is HTML4. HTML5 isn't a different language, it's just the next version. Is it more difficult? No, but it has more things than 4, just like 4 had more things than 3. Every version adds things.

    If you want to learn the differences, search for HTML5 tutorials or buy a book.

    Uhm, Rukbat -- REAL HTML 4 (aka strict) actually had LESS things than 3.2 -- that was kinda the point to remove redundancies. The only way it would have 'more' is if you went with a tranny -- and transitional is for supporting old/outdated/half-assed coding techniques, NOT building new websites.

    ... and that's also one of the contributing factors to why the giant steaming pile of manure known as HTML 5 seems carefully crafted to undo all the progress of 4 STRICT... or as I call HTML 5, "the new transitional"... since it offers no real improvements and to my eyes seems to exist for four reasons.

    1) To allow people who haven't pulled their heads out of 1997's arse to have their bloated rubbish markup suddenly be acceptable practice.

    2) To allow professional lecturers and book writers to make a quick buck by recycling their outdated books by adding ten pages and slapping a new label on it.

    3) To allow the scam artists who fill the industry to play with a new sick buzzword now that Web 2.0 is "old and tired". That way they can prey upon the ignorance of the suits who think they can get sound technical advice from the pages of Forbes. (Which is akin to getting financial advice from Popular Electronics)

    4) To allow browser vendors to pimp their favorite pet codecs and video containers, taking an industry that had almost settled on a standard, and fracture it to the point you need to have at least FOUR separate formats just to put a video online now... Harkening back to the worst of the pre-dotcom burst "realplayer vs. WMP vs. Quicktime" HELL... and all because Apple wants it their way or the highway, the open sores dirty hippies can't shut the **** up about licensing or how 'great' ogg files are (NOT), and the new kid to the market can blow things apart with "their own" format they snatched up from another company. All ignoring that REAL content providers like Netflix and Hulu won't give HTML 5 VIDEO the time of day.

    I truly cannot fathom how anyone out there is DUMB ENOUGH to see merit in using HTML 5 in terms of actually writing markup. A bunch of pointlessly redundant tags, tags for things that shouldn't even need tags since that's what NOSCRIPT is for, goof assed code bloat that they've somehow sold people on being 'leaner' (Maybe if people stopped slapping four or five div with ten to twenty classes around things for no good reason...) when to be frank, it's bull.

    The only 'cool stuff' from HTML 5 isn't even HTML, and can be used with HTML 4 STRICT and XHTML 1.0 STRICT -- CSS3 and the new javascript stuff. I still say it's WHY they slapped those under HTML 5's banner, because without them the Emperor is standing there exposed to the world.

    For the same reason that, back when C first came out, the suits wanted everything written in C. It's new, and that's the only thing that impresses the suits. Fast to create product? No, they'll just tell you to work 7 15 hour days a week. Easier? No, they don't care how tough your job is - do it or they'll get someone else to do it. Better for one reason or another? Not even a blip on the radar. Most of them don't even care if it's better or easier to use for the customers. They want new and they want cheap.

    And HTML5 is new and free, so it meets all the criteria.

    HTML5 is over hyped. That be true. It was always HTML.By the way, HTML5 is quite a piece of fancy CSS.HTML5 includes the fifth revision of the HTML markup language, CSS3, and a series of JavaScript APIs. Together, these technologies enable you to create complex applications that previously could be created only for desktop platforms.

    Through HTML5, more developers with a good understanding of the markup language, CSS, and JavaScript now can expand into mobile app development.HTML5 have amazing capabilities, such as the Website promoting the movie "The Hunger Games," trailers for videogames, and even a teaser for a music video.Many interactive and innovative features are possible using a combination of CSS3 and jQuery. And while many developers say that HTML5 means having to adopt CSS3.

    HTML5 lets you target the largest number of devices with the least amount of development effort. Second, modern browsers and various techniques minimize fragmentation. So, HTML5 is more accessible to a larger body of developers.

    Google, Mozilla, Adobe, and other technological leaders agree that the web platform is being built on HTML5, and they are collaboratively pushing the boundaries of browser capabilities. With HTML5, you can deliver new kinds of experiences to your users over the web.

    ... and those have WHAT to do with writing markup? What exactly prevents one from using CSS3 and the new scripting in older documents?

    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Again the only reason I think people slap CSS3 and the new scripting under HTML 5's bannerhead despite them having NOTHING to do with a markup specification is that without them, there is nothing of any real value there.
