HTML5 Bones is a minimal HTML5 page template with inline comments explaining the most common HTML5 structural elements, plus video and audio templates. It includes Normalize.css and print styles, and can serve as a starting template or a learning guide.

Use cases

• start a new HTML5 page from a clean template
• learn how to use HTML5 structural elements like header, nav, and footer
• get a cross-browser HTML5 boilerplate including IE7 support
• reference inline comments when hand-building an HTML5 page
• set up HTML5 video and audio markup quickly

When to choose

• you want a minimal, well-commented HTML5 starting point rather than a full framework
• you need legacy browser support down to Internet Explorer 7
• you are teaching or learning HTML5 basics

When to avoid

• you need a modern build-tooling-based starter with JavaScript frameworks
• you require actively maintained boilerplates with current best practices
• you want a full CSS framework or component library
