Adobe offers HTML5 Support in Dreamweaver CS5

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Adobe Systems Incorporated has announced, at the Google I/O conference, a new HTML5 solution that is available with immediate effect, for Web designers and developers. The Adobe HTML5 Pack is an extension to Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, the latest version of the popular HTML authoring tool for website design. This extension is said to provide more creative options to Adobe Creative Suite 5 users — so they can more easily create, deliver and optimize compelling content consistently, across the widest array of screens, to maximize revenue streams and forward their businesses.

Availability of this HTML5 Pack extension is the direct result of positive customer feedback that began at Adobe MAX 2009 when the company first gave a sneak peek of the technology, and then again most recently, following a post on the Adobe Design and Web blog, where additional HTML5 and CSS3 R&D investments were discussed. Underscoring its commitment to this emerging standard, Adobe has made its HTML5 Pack extension for Dreamweaver CS5 immediately available, as a free download, at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/html5pack.html.

“Adobe prides itself on delivering industry-defining tools and being compatible with the most popular Web programming languages, formats, APIs and libraries,” said Lea Hickman, senior director, Creative Solutions at Adobe.
