HTML Output

I found this thread while searching FreewayTalk today.

It’s now July 2015 and my sites still use HTML 4.01 Transitional. If I merely switch the HTML level to HTML5, without adding any HTML5 specific goodies, I know Freeway will do its best to maintain the page layout and structure. But will I see incompatibilities galore in Actions and/or my markup? And would merely switching my existing sites to HTML5 mean IE8 users will see a mostly broken page?

The reason I am even pondering a switch from HTML4 to HTML5 is because a lot of what I read about “Structured Data” seems to suggest that one should be using HTML5 for that. There are 3 methods that Google seems to accept:

  • Microdata
  • RDFa
  • JSON-LD

But I cannot find any definition resource that plainly says, “you must use HTML5 with Structured Data.” Do any of you know?
