New elements in HTML 5 include descriptive elements such as nav, header, footer, section, figure, etc. The meaning of the tags are self explanatory. Nav means navigation, head means the page head, footer is the page's footer, figure is a picture. You should place them on the page in the position where they usually belong on a web page: header on top, footer on the bottom, figures in the middle of the page, and navigation should be somewhere prominent on the page.
Multimedia tags new to HTML5 include audio and video. You can add audio and video clips on the page by directly referencing them in your webpage. Plugins are not required for playback. They should be in MPEG4 format and have no DRM.
Simplifications include from HTML5 include specification of the character set via the meta element and the text/javascript type is no longer needed for script tags. JavaScript is the default.
HTML5 is compatible with the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
HTML5 has many advantages over previous versions of HTML. The description of the page is now separate from the formatting. New multimedia elements are added to make embedding and playback easier.
