In Upgrade Your HTML V, HTML and CSS optimizer Jens Oliver Meiert takes more examples of HTML to analyze, explain, and improve the respective markup.
In this edition, find tables from the past; new HTML elements; (not) being managed by code; law and order in scripts; “hidden” and seek; preload requests; intermissions; mysterious chapter names; keyboard shortcuts; microdata; and plenty of appreciation for the craft of HTML.
“There are ways to improve performance by showing extra care about what you add to your HTML document, and anticipating the content. Going beyond the basics and into the nuances of HTML syntax and semantics is the value you’ll find in these pages, knowledge shared with you by Jens.”—Stephanie Eckles

Jens Oliver Meiert is a German engineering leader and author who lives in Galicia, Spain. He’s the architect of various large-scale websites (e.g., for GMX/United Internet, Aperto/IBM iX, and Google), a contributor to web standards (like HTML, CSS, WCAG), and a reviewer and writer for technical publishers (O’Reilly, Frontend Dogma). Jens works with the tension between aspiration and curiosity, between mastering things but also just trying them—which is why he writes about topics other than web development, and also publishes independently.
