Can you learn html5 without learning html?

Question

html5 learning guidance

Answer 1

you need to know html before html5 - otherwise you will not understand html5 in short. its a prerequisite of sorts.
you need to understand all the features in html4 and what works in html5 to work correctly with html in general.

Answer 2

If you learn Html5, you are learning Html.
If you learn Html, you are not necessarly learning Html5 ^^

The usual way of learning is to start with basics... and most of basics are mainly presents since oldest versions: that's the reason why you could have the impress that you are first learning oldest version than newest; but in real, you are mostly learning basics shared between versions ;P

HTML5 _is_ HTML - just a newer version with more features - so, the answer is: no

Answer 5

You cannot learn HTML without learning HTML5 as it is the current standard version of HTML.
