Moved to the "HTML Help & Advice Forums".

I am having a hard time understanding your question. By HTML5( ) software, do you mean editors? if so there are a plethora of free text editors out there, with HTML syntax highlighting. I personally use Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/).

As for CMS, do you mean Content Management Sytems (like Joomla, Drupal) ? I don't see how CMS are related in any way to
"HTML 5 " /shrug

Having others write the code for you and dictate how it's written is something I highly recommend against as in the vast majority of the time it's not written correctly, or even half correctly. Look up a list of the (X)HTML elements in the doctype you prefer to use and learn the correct context of each element's use.

Here is what I go by using XHTML 1.1...
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/doctype.html#s_doctype

If you wish to use HTML5 I think Z might know of a good page that's like the one I am posting here. It doesn't take long to study the elements and you'll be better off in the long term. And remember, you style the elements you use, you never use an element simply because of it's default styling.

Yeah what Jab said. There is really no "HTML5 software", per se. HTML is a "markup language", that you learn and then use.

You also want to avoid WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors like the plague. They are horrible, they often place weird anomalies when they "write the code for you", use unnecessary scripting and generally are very inconsistent across browsers. Once you learn the language, in theory you could develop web pages using Windows Notepad and save the file as .htm

If you are serious about learning HTML5; I would recommend getting a nice book, sitting back and reading it. I can't think of any "beginner" level books, but I will let you know If I find one. My favorite "intermediate" level HTML5 book is written by Bruce Lawson (a very reputable source): http://www.amazon.com/Introducing-HTML5 ... 843&sr=8-1 But I would recommend you learning the basics of HTML before digging in to that book.

As a reference and to look up specific HTML elements, I like to use the following source: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/cu ... multipage/
