HTML5 Pocket Reference

HTML5 Pocket Reference, 5th Edition, provides web designers and web developers with a compact lookup guide for modern web standards. Created by Jennifer Robbins and released by O'Reilly Media, this 182-page reference manual establishes clear structural guidance for coding online content.

The book synthesizes guidelines from the HTML5 Candidate Recommendation, the HTML5.1 Working Draft, and the WHATWG living standard. Practitioners can review start-tag and end-tag requirements alongside clear markup examples, content categories, and content models for every HTML5 element.

A helpful reference feature provides special character charts to assist with text formatting. The published reference gives technical authors an accessible desk tool for maintaining standard element markup in daily workflows.
