html5 and css3 have brought many new features, my question is how effectively TW uses these capabilities?

How much html5+css3 is included in the official version of tiddlywiki (a.k. empty.html)?

I know we can use simply the html5 + css3 in our tiddlers! Thank you TW!
But I wish to know how much is used in official release?

The name "TiddlyWiki 5” was chosen to reflect the fact that TiddlyWiki is based on HTML 5, while TiddlyWiki Classic predated the availability of HTML 5.

The core uses a bunch of HTML 5 and CSS 3 features, such as:

* ECMAScript 5
* data attributes
* drag and drop
* The download attribute for links
* CSS shadows, transforms etc.
* Flexbox
etc.

Best wishes

Jeremy.

Thank you for update!
So, TW is keen to use the latest features of web technology! That's great

How much do you encourage to use html +css features in tiddlers? For example

<figure>
[img[pic1]][img[pic2]][img[pic3]]
<figcaption>common caption text here</figcaption>
</figure>

 and similar?

And the next question how frequently TW core is updated to cover new features in the html5 + css3?

Hi Mohammad

[img[pic1]][img[pic2]][img[pic3]]
<figcaption>common caption text here</figcaption>
</figure>

 and similar?

The project docs don't make any particular effort to teach people HTML good practices, but there's a lot of documentation out there.

And the next question how frequently TW core is updated to cover new features in the html5 + css3?

The TW5 core is very conservative in the browser features that it depends on. It's useful for it to be able to run on as wide a range of old browsers as possible. So, we'd seldom want or need to update the core just because a new HTML5 feature is released. Very few HTML5 features need core support in order for users to be able to use them, so usage of HTML5 features is largely a matter for authors to make a tradeoff between broad compatibility and the ease of coding associated with HTML5.

Best wishes

Jeremy

No problem, it's great when people ask questions like this because it helps pull stuff out of my brain and into the public domain :)
