It is
the fifth and last major HTML version that is a World Wide Web Consortium recommendation. The

support from Mozilla and opera but they disagree with it due to the foreseen of the new direction of the

HTML that is used to develop websites. It can be used to write web application that still work without an
internet connection. It can handle high definition of video and deliver some extraordinary graphic. It
does not even require to have an additional software like browser plugins. It is also a cross-platform and
it works perfectly good and nicely in any platform as long as the browser supports HTML5. Right now,
HTML5 is still under development. Nonetheless, major browsers support most of the new HTML5
elements along with the Google APIs (Application programming interfaces). New features of HTML5 are
application cache that allows the developers to create an offline applications, Drag and drop is a feature

start of the web page. The <figcaption> tag defines a caption for a <figure> element. This tag provides a
container for content that is equivalent to a figure. It can be used to group a caption with one or more
