Talk:HTML5

Text Editor
I always write all my articles in WordPad, and then change the syntax for MediaWiki and copy paste it. I know that in HTML5 the standard word processor functionality can be implemented into MediaWiki. It would also be great to have an easier way of adding pictures. I use a lot of pictures, but still I must keep looking up the syntax. The editor is one of the most important features of any Wiki. To be frank with you, with all due respect, the MediaWiki editor sucks.

Keeping this up to date
Just a little think which I think would help with this page. We should create a table with all goals that we have relating to HTML5, filling it in as we go along. This would help people know what goals have still yet to be completed on making MediaWiki HTML5 compliant. Would this be a welcome additon?

A configuration setting?
It would be nice if we had something like a $wgUseHTML5, so other wiki operators can also make the decision easily.--Jasper Deng (talk) 01:23, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * We have $wgHtml5, is that what you're after? Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 05:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was what I was after. I'm going to add mention of this to the page.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
