Editing content in HTML5 page layout elements

Obviously, the point of generating HTML5 page layouts is to replace the generated dummy content with your own, real content! Having explored in a bit of depth the conceptual challenges of properly embedding custom content in HTML5 page layouts, we are ready to walk through the specific techniques for embedding your own real-live content into HTML5 layouts.

In the following discussion, I will be building on the tools and techniques covered in the previous chapter in this book. I will assume you are familiar with the HTML5 layouts generated using the HTML5 Pack in Dreamweaver. Moreover, I will be zooming in on specific aspects of those layouts, and how to customize them.

Note

While our focus here is on embedding your actual text and other content in web pages, if for some reason you need to generate pseudo-Latin type to use as a place-holder for design wireframing or mockup purposes, you can generate Lipsum type at http://www.lorem-ipsum.info/generator3...
