HTML5 code hints

[D_Excel]

How about HTML5 code hints and all of the other features that are implemented for XHTML. CSS3 code hints would also be great. I have Dreamweaver and Komodo 6, both feature code hints for HTML5. However, I prefer the WeBuilder 2008, it is my primary code editor and I use it for all of my work. I know dreamweaver has a butt load of features, but it's slow, clunky and a pain to customize. Komodo 6 is free and you only get but so much. I prefer WeBuilder, it's the tool of choice for me. I need the HTML5 and CSS3 hook up Karlis!!!

I've moved your request into it's on topic rather than on Karlis guidelines topic.

Hi,

Support for CSS3 has been implemented in version 2010.
Support for HTML5 will be added with version 2011 - coming out pretty soon.

When soon? I mean HTML5 has been out for quite a while....

Yes, but it is still not an official standard it is still currently under development.

Sorry for the delay. We will release the beta of version 2011 this month.
And thank you for your patience.

Oh yes, me too and I am sure there are many others.

Doing some esthetic and functional changes with my web site(in html5) and using WB 2010 is somewhat problematic but doable.

I spend a better part of of yesterday trying to solve a bug only to find out that I had forgotten an end closing tag and IF WB had html5 support present that would have been.

I did install IE9 on my new system and after seeing its support for html5 I removed it as I get better support from IE8 or IE7 using a DOM technique for IE to accept html5 tags.

I add the following statement just above the </head> and IE8 loves it; although limited but works.

<code>
<!-- this is to give IE html5 tag info -->
<!--[if IE]>
<script>
document.createElement('header');
document.createElement('hgroup');
document.createElement('nav');
document.createElement('section');
document.createElement('article');
document.createElement('footer');
</script>
<![endif]-->
</code>

Ah, so here is the old post I was referring to, well it has been a couple of months now and still no new version with CSS3 or HTML5?

Any plans or ideas when 2011 (v11) will be out?

Cheers

Hi,

Yesterday we had a project meeting, and have decided to postpone the release of the next major version for 4-6 weeks (mid May).
We apologize for the delay, but it had to be.
By then a beta version will be available for testing and the final release will come after 2-4 more weeks.
Thank you for your patience.

Kind regards,
Gatis

Well that was somewhat expected is it doesn't surprise me.

Now here is the question, for those of us who purchased WB 2010, in 2010, will this be a free update? As the release of the new version in May falls outside of the 6-month period for a free update. My purchase was made in October, 2010 outside of the six month period.

Could your reply be best served in the announcement section or at least a copy it?

I agree it is in response to a query BUT in this case your response would also be good in the announcement section

Thanks for suggestion. However, we do not want to give out an official announcement currently, because the dates might still change a little bit (maybe it will be released even earlier )

Here is my wish list that I would like to see in the new release aside from
Macros, at least 2-3. I have to edit 35 pages and using a macro would be an asset

• 1. a CSS reset
  2. font normalization
  3. label alignment
  4. device orientation

Perhaps what we should do in this forum is to collect the wish list from users of WB 2010 and let's see what it will turn into. I will admit that I am partial to html5 and CSS3 as they are or will be the standards to reckon with.



It could very well be that Blumental will decide to have a separate program for just html5/css3 in the future.
