C HTML5 Logo FAQ

Are all those technology features defined in the HTML5 specification? C HTML5 Logo. An HTML5 Logo. W3C unveiled a logo for HTML5 today.

An HTML5 Logo

HTML5 in the broad sense covers many different technologies at varying degrees of standardization and adoption. Commercial sites have begun to take advantage of some of the technology, and we are excited that this logo will help raise awareness about HTML5 and W3C. Please check out the logo home page for information about free stickers. We are also selling T-shirts and part of the proceeds will support the HTML5 test suite effort. A number of people have already asked me “What does the logo represent?” The logo is available under a permissive license (Creative Commons 3.0 By) so that you can make it fit into your own designs. As a special treat, I’d like to introduce Michael Nieling, the Creative Director at Ocupop, the design firm that developed the logo with us.

WOFF File Format 1.0. 1.

WOFF File Format 1.0

Introduction This document specifies a simple compressed file format for fonts, designed primarily for use on the Web and known as WOFF (Web Open Font Format). Despite this name, WOFF should be regarded as a container format or "wrapper" for font data in already-existing formats rather than an actual font format in its own right. The WOFF format is a container for the table-based sfnt structure used in e.g. TrueType [TrueType], OpenType [OpenType] and Open Font Format [OFF] fonts, hereafter referred to as sfnt fonts. The structure and contents of decoded font data exactly match those of a well-formed input font file. Notational Conventions The all-uppercase key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC-2119].

The main area that has not been adequately addressed by HTML is a vague subject referred to as Web Applications.
