Recommendations for HTML5 references?

[William Gill]

I frequently use http://htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/ as a quick
reference for HTML 4.01. Particularly the "contains" and "contained in"
information for each element. It is so much easier than trying to look
things up in the DTD.

Since HTML5 is no longer based on SGML there is no DTD.

Can anyone point me to references (preferably downloadable and
searchable for when I'm off the grid) that will help check element
hierarchical relationships?

I guess
http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/
comes closest. It's not as explicit ("contains" is often explained with
links rather than listing down the elements), but pretty readable.

Beware that it reflects the W3C HTML5 draft, rather than the "living
HTML standard" by WHATWG.

This a lot more practical for my purposes than
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/

Thanks Yucca.

Perhaps this is what you seek:
