::This may be ok, however I was thinking of a sentence along the lines of "HTML is rendered by a web browser, that browser needs to be updated with to the latest standard to be able to render the desired results. HTML5 is the newest revision of HTML and as a result the level of compliance is still limited" then maybe a table showing levels of support for different browsers for different parts of the spec, or if one already exists (I have not checked) a link to that instead.

:::That's a bit broad, and not completely accurate. HTML has much wider usage than rendering in web browsers, and limiting it to that would confuse people more if they come across it in another ___location, and using a different section of the language. That's why there's a whole article for HTML, rather than just a couple of sentences. Also, browser compliance on different elements would get a little out of hand quite quickly. There are over 115 tags in html5, and many of them can be used and interpreted in different ways depending on the browser you're using. On top of that, some browsers have their own tags that aren't standard, but they consider part of the html5 integration. As such, a table would be somewhat difficult and ungainly. Level of compliance is limited for every specification not just html5, so maybe a graph on the HTML page saying what browsers ''say'' they are currently compatible with might be good. <span style="background-color:#6CF;border:1px solid #09F;padding:0px 5px;border-radius:99px">[[User:Sonicdrewdriver|drewmunn]]&nbsp;<span style="border-left:1px solid #09F;padding-left:5px">[[User talk:Sonicdrewdriver|talk]]</span></span> 16:50, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

::::This is probably a better way to display compliance. Would a '''small and simple''' sample of some of the most used tags in code examples be a good idea, I am just trying to think of the best way to show people that HTML5 is just code people type and not something more complex like the comments seem to indicate people think.
