*Declaring that the document contains HTML5 mark-up with the HTML5 doctype
*
The doctype for HTML5 is very simple. To indicate that your HTML content uses HTML5, simply use:

<!DOCTYPE html>

Doing so will cause even browsers that don't presently support HTML5 to enter into standards mode, which means that they'll interpret the long-established parts of HTML in an HTML5-compliant way while ignoring the new features of HTML5 they don't support.

This is much simpler than the former doctypes, and shorter, making it easier to remember and reducing the amount of bytes that must be downloaded.

"Re: HTML5 support":
Re-reading Robert’s original post, it looks like he was indeed asking about the “HTML Tools” palette specifically, not BBEdit as a whole. He wrote:

But in any case I agree with Greg; this is one for [email protected].

May be worth contacting support about this, but as I wrote earlier in this thread, not every option is available in the palette, which is not the same
as BBEdit not supporting HTML5.

Just checked in 12.0.2 and indeed “HTML5” is missing from the “Doc Type”
popup menu of the “HTML Tools” palette. It is, however, present in the
“Document Type” submenu of the “Markup” menu. Go figure!
