When converting Waffle to HTML5, I hit a major snag in browser support. In most browsers, new block-level section tags like <section>, <header> and <article>, despite having clearly defined end tags, are all treated as self-closing, self-contained ‘void’ elements, like <img> or <br>. This totally fucks up the document structure and stylesheets.
Due to an untimely kernel panic - my third overall, I believe - I also lost my transition notes. When people say “Jesus saves”, they are referring to Command+S.
I will proceed with the conversion, and I will post notes as promised, but I will be unable to use the true semantic richness of HTML5 that is one of its hallmarks. God damn it.
