HTML is HTML.
5 is just the 5th revision. With the release of HTML5, we go a simplified doc type, and some new tags like
<canvas>.
Other tags were depreciated, or no longer supported like
<strike>
as those can be handled in CSS better.
I have yet to see them teach us anything that was depreciated in HTML5.

28,109 PointsThey really haven't taught the HTML 5 tags because they are a lot of base tags to learn first. They will probably do that more in a more advance video I'd imagine.
