Welcome to the Drupal HTML5 Group
This is a discussion and working group for anyone interested in implementing HTML5 markup and API's in Drupal. We are working on several projects to provide HTML5 support for Drupal 7, and pushing to get HTML5 native markup and form elements into Drupal 8 core.
HTML5 Tools is a module for overriding what core is doing. http://drupal.org/project/html5_tools
It works with the Elements module. http://drupal.org/project/elements
HTML5 Base is a base theme for creating HTML5 themes. http://drupal.org/project/html5_base
Semantic Views can help you control the markup of your Views. http://drupal.org/project/semanticviews
Going to DrupalCon Chicago? Look out for a core conversation about getting HTML5 into core, and for code sprints to help with the work. And wear a HTML5 t-shirt on the day of the core conversation to show your support.

Spark: WYSIWYG editors evaluation — call for feedback!
For the Spark project, we're looking for a WYSIWYG editor. It must work well on mobile devices, hence HTML5 is pretty much a necessity. A WYSIWYG editor still involves a lot of JavaScript, so solid JavaScript is also important.
However, for the Spark project, the WYSIWYG goal is somewhat different than the "typical" WYSIWYG goal. We're looking for a "true WYSIWYG" editor, which we can define as a WYSIWYG that matches all CSS selectors identically like the eventual document would.

Widgets (wdgt)
I use the application Hype to generate HTML5 compatible animations. Hype can generate a wdgt file that will run in iBooks or as a Dashboard app on the Mac. Is there any initiative to be able to upload these widgets directly into Drupal as a Drupal field?

Do you think controlling wrapper markup in the UI would be a good idea for Drupal 8 core?
Some people believe that wrapper markup should be controlled via UI so that those configuring the site can choose the proper element to wrap blocks of content in, down to fields. This question is about Drupal core itself. Contrib has been and will continue to be able to solve this problem. See Display Suite, Views, Fences, etc.
Read morewysihtml5 editor for Drupal wysiwyg module
I recently discovered a WYSIHTML5 open source rich text editor based on HTML5 technology...
http://github.com/xing/wysihtml5
I thought it would be a good fit for the WYSIWYG module, and added it in this patch...
http://drupal.org/node/1491142
Just wanted some opinions from the HTML5 group. This seems like a very clean solution to limit Drupal user input to HTML5.
Thanks for your feedback.

Stop making base themes and start developing installation profiles!
Themes section is full of very powerfull and configurable themes.
This is very helpfull if you are building a big website with complex functionality but most of us just want to develop something that's already out there and be able to slightly alter it to bend our needs.
I'm suggesting to leave the abstract website developing strategy driven by base themes and start by picking a case study and make it work.
It will save us time and will help new users to dive in.
So...
1.Pick a case study
2.Install required modules
3.Build custom content types base on the entities requiried
HTML5 Animation
Hi there
I am busy with a very plain website for a client in Drupal 7. He wants me to add a HTML5 edge animation to the header of the website. I have been searching for a solution for the last 4 days bit still no luck.
Can anyone please give me some advise on how to do this?
Thank you
Omega theme with Compass and SASS - what are the best practices?
For background, I am using Compass on the command line with an Omega HTML5 starter kit subtheme. Also, I'm in local dev on Windows 7 and abandoned trying to use the Compass module, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter if I can use the command line.
I have created a compass project in my theme and I have the SASS default stylesheets ie.scss print.scss and screen.scss - I created a .scss file for each of the Omega stylesheets. They are then compiled to CSS and watched by Compass.

Sasson - new drupal base theme with Sass & Compass
Check out Sasson, you're gonna love it !

- It includes Sass & Compass framework - no extra requirements, simply enable and start writing sass/scss (thanks peroxide and SASSy )
- It's mobile friendly - with responsive, content-first layout, out of the box. optional mobile-first responsive layout, media queries break-points are configurable.
- It converts the core template files to HTML5 markup -
<header>,<footer>,<article>for nodes,<section>for blocks,<aside>for sidebars,<nav>for menus etc.(thanks Boron)- It includes a perfectly semantic grid system - no more non-semantic grid classes (based on 960gs via Compass).
- It includes an HTML5-friendly CSS Reset (normalize), cross-browser styling compatibility improvements and other tweaks & best practices from HTML5Boilerplate v2.0
- It enables HTML5 in oldIEs via HTML5shiv
- It *doesn't* give you a pile of CSS rules you will have to override.
Events
Microdata office hours
Since the usual folks on the Linked Data planning call can't join this week, I'll be holding microdata office hours instead.
If you develop field formatters in contributed modules and want to figure out how to enable microdata for them, I would be happy to help you figure it out. Join IRC to ask me questions... #drupal-html5 or #drupal-rdf (and ping me with 'linclark' to get my attention ;-)
Even if you don't use IRC, feel free to contact me and we'll figure out a way to work together on this.

Read moreMicrodata in Drupal: BoF at DrupalCon London
Microdata is an alternate way of placing inline structured data. Fortunately, since it is based on RDFa, we can reuse a lot of the thinking that went into the RDF in Drupal core initiative. But there are some small differences as well. These small differences have a big impact on things like the involvement of field formatters in metadata output.
We need to start thinking about these impacts.

How can we improve frontend sprints at Drupal events?
Last updated by lewisnyman on Wed, 2015-01-07 12:36
At DrupalCamp Ghent, we held a very small frontend BOF, with myself, Laurii, Emma.maria, and guest frontender Xano.
It quickly became a retrospective on the Friday sprints that took place at DrupalCon Amsterdam. The collective thoughts were not positive. It felt like we fell way short of our goals and potential for the Friday sprint. Drupalcon Friday sprints are about introducing people to sprinting and it feels like we failed badly at that.
Here were some of the problems:
- Newbies did not get enough help
- The few people helping the newbies did not get enough support

If you have development chops, designers and other contributors of this community need your help bringing designs to life.
Allow me to paint a picture of the need and skills required...
The task of creating content has been redesigned (http://groups.drupal.org/node/217434), and has reached a point of consensus. At this point, the design really needs to interactive to flush out how all of the various interactions will work (or don't). Additionally, once made interactive, we validate the direction by testing the prototype with end users.

HTML5 Myths
Last updated by chrisrcooper on Mon, 2015-05-04 16:08
(Let's create a Myth versus Fact document to answer reoccurring concerns about HTML5 and Drupal. Anyone can edit this document and provide answers. HEAVY rewriting is welcome at this stage!)
=====
Myth: HTML5 is not done, we should wait until it's done before implementing it in Drupal.
Fact: Most of HTML5 is dividable in 3 different groups: "it just works", "degrades by default", and "some effort required". See http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/html5-levels for additional information.

We already have the number field in the html5_tools.module file and you can use that as a base for starting the other fields.
If you're interested in what new fields are available take a look at the elements module code, there is not support for email, number, url, color, and range.
