HTML5 and Canvas 2D Candidate Recommendations Updated by the HTML Working Group

06 August 2013

The HTML Working Group updated two Candidate Recommendations today:

• HTML5, which defines the 5th major revision of the core language of the World Wide Web, the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). In this version, new features are introduced to help Web application authors, new elements are introduced based on research into prevailing authoring practices, and special attention has been given to defining clear conformance criteria for user agents in an effort to improve interoperability.
• HTML Canvas 2D Context, which defines the 2D Context for the HTML canvas element. The 2D Context provides objects, methods, and properties to draw and manipulate graphics on a canvas drawing surface.
