Hi all,

I have been thinking a lot about current web development and HTML 5. If I am starting a new site from the ground up, would it be adventageous to use DocType HTML 5 in my new page templates?

Is it true that I can use all of the same mark up from:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

with the html 5 doctype?

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>

And is it true that HTML5 doctype will force browsers to standards mode? If so, we should then begin developing with it right?
