HTML or Hypertext Markup Language is a formatting language that programmers and developers use to create documents on the Web. The latest edition HTML5 has enhanced features for programmers such as <video>, <audio> and <canvas> elements. You view a Web page written in HTML in a Web browser such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. The HTML5 language has specific rules that allow placement and format of text, graphics, video and audio on a Web page. Programmers use these programming tags or elements to produce web pages in unique and creative ways. Tags such as <section>, <article>, <header> enable the creator to make a more efficient and intelligent web page. Users will not have to use a Flash plug-in for video and audio content. Visual Studio users typically write code in HTML5 when creating web site content.
So you mention a few new elements and think you have all the bases covered? And all you're mostly doing is parroting what HTML4.01 does, too. Don't make me laugh. VS users were the last to join the HTML5 writers group. IE didn't even support HTML5 till IE9 came along. Even then, it does it poorly and incomplete.
