Good evening, is your personal opinion worth switching to html 5 or not? As I understand it, to switch from html 4.01 to html 5, basically transfer the attributes of the tag to the style attribute. Meta tags and doctype are also shorter. And so I still can not understand in html5 it was written that it is not necessary to close single tags ( <img>, <br/>... ), although the validator swears. It stands on the html5 mode.

Closed due to the fact that it is necessary to reformulate the question so that it is possible to give an objectively correct answer by the participants of Grundy , Kromster , D-side , pavel , Denis December 27, '16 at 6:49 .

The question gives rise to endless debates and discussions based not on knowledge, but on opinions. To get an answer, rephrase your question so that it can be given an unambiguously correct answer, or delete the question altogether. If the question can be reformulated according to the rules set out in the certificate , edit it .

Definitely go!

    YES! But this is the same HTML, only with new tags and attributes.

      Unnecessary knowledge will not, and if it does - it will soon be the standard ...

        Your personal opinion is to go to html 5

        Yes!

          Will have to go

          • Have to? Why? In my opinion, backward compatibility will still be. - Crasher
          • Well, if you don’t like html5, you can of course use 4th. If you do not like Ferrari, but you are crazy about Volga - no one will forbid you to ride on the Volga :) - Zowie
