Hi everyone, Is HTML5 backward compatible?

Does Html5 supports elements, tags e.t.c being used in the former versions of HTML? Thanks

HTML5 was designed to be backwards compatible with both HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0/1.1, so that previous (X)HTML pages could be migrated to HTML5 easier. Of course, they wouldn't be taking advantage of new HTML5 features (such as new tags), but they would still be technically valid HTML5.
