A more complete set of references is available on my Web Centric Resources page. HTML5 documents begin. This will also guarantee that your browser will use the most recent version of HTML. The w3c recommends this for most authors as it will be compatible with older browsers. If not specified, it defaults to the lang value of the parent. XHTML documents begin. Pragmatically speaking, the two are so close that it is almost the same difficulty.
HTML5 feels like step backward, just calling it as I see it. The old syntax?? That needed to stay dead. Add a comment. Stan k 18 18 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Sorry but it doesn't really answer my question. I get that the mine-type is what tells the browser what syntax to use -- I was asking which to use myself.
I can set the mime-type to be whatever I want, so I know how to switch between the two. So I doubt you can use whatever mime type you want, except a few cases. Show 2 more comments. I always had the freedom not to call IE a web browser. HTML5 was designed for compatibility, so at least some parts of a web page will work.
Well, depends what you mean by support. HTML5 is designed to be backwards compatible. It follows the principle of graceful degradation. Thomas Broyer Thomas Broyer Community Bot 1 1 1 silver badge.

Both forms are allowed for HTML5. That's not true. The reason behind the self-closing tags in XML is that its a framework for defining markup languages, so one doesn't have to know before hand which are the self-closing tags. That's all. They don't work with HTML. HTML allows more than just unclosed tags, it also allows you to close tags in a different order than they were opened.
So no, that's not "all". HTML 4. Just that some people did it does not mean it is allowed. The only thing hard about HTML is that it does not enforce draconian rules in the markup. XHTML is either correct or not. What we have in the real world is not OK. Personally I'll feel a little dirty going back to not closing tags, is second nature to me now, but would I gain something going back to HTML syntax?
Thus, you should use the syntax that matches the MIME type you use. It can be easily parsed, understood and manipulated. The HTML syntax is a lot harder for clients to work with. The HTML5 spec defines how to parse HTML in a way that is relatively easy to implement, and off-the-shelf parsers are being developed that can be easily integrated into tool chains. It probably isn't worthwhile changing any significant projects back to the HTML serialisation.
You have to really consider two things. The language you are writing and the language you are sending. The Web is defined by 3 components:.
