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.

ARCHITECT OUR CSS
Further to Dries blog on Reducing risk in the Drupal 8 release schedule at http://buytaert.net/reducing-risk-in-the-drupal-8-release-schedule there is a need to consolidate and make sure that the CSS architecture fixes do not become a blocker. To ensure the same John has moved the fixes & issues around CSS Architecture to the JohnAlbin’s Mobile initiative sandbox. This will also ensure that all the commits the renaming of CSS files done during the Singapore sprint get recognition! So Join John @ the sandbox to make the much awaited CSS clean possible and become a part of Drupal 8 release!
Yes! Rename files to match CSS file naming convention committed to D8, http://drupal.org/node/1987066 - COMMITTED to D8!

Read moreHTML5 multiple uploads in Drupal 8?
I've been working on a patch that implements support for HTML5 multiple argument to type='file' input element. Patch introduces "#multiple" attribute to core's file and managed_file FAPI elements. File and Image fields use that to allow multiple uploads on multi-value fields. I also fixed all tests that were affected by changes in FAPI elements and implemented upgrade path for minor changes in image field's default_image configuration. Patch is ready for reviews and improvements, so I'd like to invite anyone interested to help making it RTBC.

Drupal HTML5 Logo
Last updated by jensimmons on Tue, 2011-01-18 17:57

HTML5 now has a logo. http://www.w3.org/html/logo/
So the movement to get HTML5 and Drupal to work together should have one too.
I've posted it at http://jensimmons.com/news/html5-logo-drupal because a) groups.drupal.org doesn't allow uploads of .ai files, and b) the logo is licensed Creative Commons attribution, not GPL, and that's not allowed on g.d.o either.
Read moreThe Original HTML Tools & Base Plan
In July 25, 2010, at DrupalCamp NYC 8, a Birds of a Feather discussion and code sprint was held to figure out how to best get Drupal to do HTML5. The following was decided:
We are creating a set of tools: HTML5 Tools. http://drupal.org/project/html5_tools
And a base theme: http://drupal.org/project/html5_base
Drupal 6.x form elements to be converted to their HTML5 counterpart
<?php
/**
* Implementation of hook_form_FORM_ID_alter().
*/
function html5_tools_forms_form_user_edit_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
if($form['account']['mail']['#type'] == 'textfield') {
$form['account']['mail']['#type'] = 'email';
}
}
?>Oh Yeah the new form types :-D
New form elements types (email, numberfield, tel, range ,search ,url ) - http://drupal.org/node/816090
Missing Element types (date, color) - http://drupal.org/node/876780
