This document discusses using HTML5 with Drupal websites today. It introduces HTML5 tools like the HTML5 Tools and Elements modules that add HTML5 support to Drupal 6 and 7. It also mentions the HTML5 Base theme which overrides Drupal templates to use HTML5 semantics. Various HTML5 related Drupal projects and groups are listed for contributing to the goals of better supporting HTML5 in Drupal.
