[Geany] HTML5 entities

G'day,

The following can be tacked onto the end of the html keywords line in
filetypes.xml for the HTML5 new elements to be recognised:

article aside audio canvas command details datalist figure figcaption
footer header hgroup keygen mark meter nav output progress section time
video wbr

What would be quite nice is to be able to have different modes for
HTML/XHTML to allow for the defined keywords of each doctype to be
recognised as appropriate, e.g. HTML <=4 and XHTML won't know what a
canvas is so it should appear as an error in those doctypes, and HTML5
won't know what center is (which is just as well because it's misspelled
in all but Wronglish :)

Admittedly that's a bit of a tall order, and I have no clue where to
start -- but I might sit on it as a possible plugin someday. If somebody
just happens to sort it out sooner, I reckon there'd be quite a few
happy people about the place!

cheers,
Ross
