Hello TTG world. I am currently trying to update my website from the old HTML and CSS coding to HTML5 to get a more profetional look. I am trying to learn HTML5 and code a new website and update the old one with the completely new structure. This is taking a really long time so if anyone has any advise on how I could just put HTML5 codes into my old codes i would be very aperiative.

HTML 5 is not really different, it just introduces new tags. To declare a html 5 webpage, use:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>

Transitioning a site from HTML4 to 5 isn't really a huge transition to complete. It introduces new tags and ways of creating different sections of the code entirely, but it doesn't affect the entire structure of your site. You won't have to change every bit of code just to integrate HTM5 into your site, realistically, it won't take long at all.


If anything HTML5 is more of an innovation, as most of the tags in HTML4 do not change in HTML5. As a whole, more tags and code are added rather than changed. So you shouldn't have to worry too much about transitioning languages.

Adding to what John said, some tags are removed in HTML 5, so you're going to have to look for a list of those to see if you were using any. But the only ones that were removed were ones that weren't used/weren't used in the right way and are now replaced with new tags.
